Feedback From Our Students:
Foreign Rights Class
You have been an absolute master mentor to us unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the publishing industry. You were always there to enlighten us on various topics, always ready to help and respond to any questions. Your guidance was invaluable in getting us to start sending out e-mails to publishers world-wide, and you always seemed to have the answer to any queries and more than willing to share the knowledge with us. Thank you so much for all your help,

Synopsis Class
Today’s synopsis class was amazing. Incredibly hands-on and helpful, and everyone walked away significantly closer to having a strong synopsis for their project. Amy, you were SO generous with your time, giving participants extra time to work on their first drafts and answering every single question thoughtfully. I don’t know where you get your energy!

Marketing Class
This class was a gift not only to my career but to my spirit. As a writer who finds pitching and promoting myself anxiety-provoking, I appreciated Amy’s breaking down the intimidating into a plan of small, easily actionable steps. She is a generous teacher who inspires as well as she informs.
