Client testimonials
“I have been writing with Marcia for the better part of a decade and owe most of my publishing successes to her. Her techniques have helped me tackle deeply personal stories. I appreciate the comfortable environment she offers as well as her willingness to be honest with me. She has encouraged and championed my stories while also challenging me and letting me know in the gentlest way when I need to make a course correction. I highly recommend Marcia. ”
“Marcia’s memoir workshop provides a safe haven to confront painful memories. Her editing suggestions and reflection questions enhance my writing without changing my style. With Marcia’s warm nature and artful guidance, I have blossomed on and off the page. I am incredibly grateful I stumbled upon her website when I did.”
“From her warmth and character as a teacher to the rich bed of materials she exposes us to weekly, Marcia’s guidance is truly indispensable. During the two years I’ve worked with Marcia, with the help of her expert classes and her editorial suggestions, work that started out as chapters evolved into stand-alone essays taken for publication. ”
