What people are saying
"I so appreciate your no-nonsense, practical, and often humorous approach to writing, especially writing for income. Subscribing to your paid newsletter was a no-brainer after reading your post on what it would offer."
--Elizabeth Cottrell
"I really want to support you because I used to write regularly and felt confident in my completed writings; however, it’s been some time since I wrote. I need to not only refresh the knowledge I had, but I want to go beyond those boundaries and become a proficient writer. I believe your insights can help me achieve that goal. "
