“Anne is full of passion and creates a welcoming and inclusive space. I learned about story structure, how to go deeper with fewer words and how to create meaning in my story. Her edits to my piece were transformative. The time flew by, but Anne’s teachings will last a lifetime. I also appreciated that she was exceptionally organized and started and ended on time.”

— Suzanne Conroy, Ancaster, Ontario
