What People Are Saying:
"After 21 years of teaching writing at various levels, I have never been able to accomplish what Susan Marlow is able to achieve in a short 45 min. lesson. Susan quickly engages the students into the world of writing. She transforms youngsters into enthusiastic, confident authors. I would recommend Susan's writing workshop for young writers."
