What people have said...
“I enjoyed [the tele-seminar] very much. The best information I got from it is: 1: Authors should think of their book as a business. 2: Set goals and move out of your comfort zone everyday but don't overextend or overstress yourself. 3: Connect with the public through ordinary topics such as why you wrote the book and the different problems or experiences that occurred during the process. I also enjoyed your book, rut busting workshop, and writing workshop, web sites, and newsletters and have recommended them to others.”—Gerry, New Castle, PA
“Nancy spoke at our Breast Cancer Support Group, and she brought great insight and heart into our group! She helped us to see that positive things can come from any life event, even something as devastating as cancer. Thanks to Nancy, I think we will all begin to take time out of our daily lives to enjoy the small pleasures life brings!”—Kelly Miller, Community Outreach Coordinator,
Grove City Medical Center, Grove City, PA
"Nancy led a workshop I attended at an east coast writing conference. She was highly professional in her manner and material. In a short amount of time, she gave each of us personal value. She knows her stuff and has the personality and energy to put it forward in an inspiring yet practical way. I highly recommend her for any workshop or speaking engagement." —Holly, Boston MA
Nancy, what a great workshop [Creative Remembering/ Writing Your Life]. I did enjoy it and I have started to write. I am a grandmother that wants to pass down some good memories. The grammar will not always be correct, but I am going for it!!!! Thanks for getting me started. Thanks!— Pat, New Wilmington, OH
“One of the best things about your classes was the general information on publication … it is enlightening to know how things get published, what publishers look for, and how a magazine is put together. The class exercises and feedback were very helpful, not only because of suggestions for one’s own work, but also hearing other approach to the same subject is broadening. It was a great brush-up on types of journalism. Your suggestions for tools to help improve our writing were also a plus.”
— Lois, Cleveland, OH

“After having studied with Nancy some years ago, I was happy to attend two of her workshops already this year. Nancy leads but also includes. She gives one the feeling that she has 'been there/done that' and that her students can as well. She is personable and 'touchable' and generous of spirit as well as of time and talent. I will be attending as many of her classes/workshops as possible; she is an inspiration. —Mary Ellen, Boardman, OH
“I really enjoyed your [Coach Yourself] session. It was so encouragingto hear that other people have writing fears and that they too hear those nasty, berating voices inside their head. Thanks to you I've taken a step forward in my writing life. You've given me the gumption to commit more fully to writing by setting aside the time I need to write, and to make it a habit. I will snag an hour of quiet for myself and write with all my heart, without guilt. Thanks again, Nancy. I hope I'll catch another session or workshop you lead soon. — Kathy, North Olmsted, OH
“Nancy’s emphasis on stretching your creative muscle was inspiring. Using your sense and being aware of the world around you are great ways to develop your writing.”—Jean, Carnegie, PA
“I adored the Creative Workshop with you pushing us towards greater Change Challenges and am no longer in an overload rut!”
—Annie, Long Beach, CA
