“I just submitted my second manuscript since attending Dominique’s writing workshop. I am very happy about this! Both of these manuscripts had been stuck for a long time. The workshop has really, really helped my regular writing practice. I also have big writing goals for the summer (and smaller plans about how to accomplish them)! So grateful for this very helpful experience!”

Remember the saying, “When the student is ready to learn, the teacher appears”? That is exactly what I think about every time I attend one of Dominique’s workshops: whatever my need at that particular moment — motivation, getting un-stuck or figuring out in which direction to take my work — Dominique always provides what I need to take the next step (either a breakthrough, validation, or much appreciated motivation and enthusiasm!). By the way, I would much rather these be called “creativity studios”, because “workshop” is an awfully boring and non-descriptive title for something so “alive”! Can’t recommend her work highly or strongly enough, especially for folks considering doing something new, but not sure what…
