Testimonials

“I look forward to gathering with a small group all chasing the same dreams. The highlight of each event is the one-on-one time with Masheri -- I always gain new insights and inspiration from her.”

“The time spent by Masheri helping each person individually with their writing was extremely helpful to me in helping with my format and plot.”

“I was truly surprised with the power of the event. I tried something different, I wrote by hand and ended up with over two thousand words on a book chapter that was causing me some discomfort and procrastination.”
