Testimonials:

"The workshop was just what I needed. It really helped clarify things! I highly recommend this workshop for any writer who is stuck, confused, and doubtful or who has been listening to their Inner Critic too long. Martha will get you through it, and remind you of the joy and magic of writing." M.M. (fiction writer)

"Martha, I just want to thank you again for some of the most exciting hours I've spent in a long time. Isn't it thrilling to learn something new? I came to your workshop with much trepidation and left with enormous excitement. I can't wait to put what you've taught me to use. " D.O. (fiction writer)

You have a fantastic tool to help writers plot out scene, create tension and construct a story. I've had several "aha" moments ever since I've taken your workshop. I was struggling with how to build in my back-story. I know what it was, but I wasn't sure how to plot it. Now I know, thanks to you. However, I'm not through with you yet." G.S. (non-fiction biography)
