“On a whim, I took a writing course… within minutes, I knew I had found something I needed to go forth with. Suddenly, my stored experiences and hidden feelings had new meaning, and possibility, which was life-changing.” 

—Carla Carlson, author of Love and Oranges

"Writing by its very nature is solitary, but every writer reaches a point when it becomes critically important to share one’s work. [The Writing Institute] gave me exactly the structure, close reading, and support I needed to see my book through to completion."

—Liane Carter, author of Ketchup is My Favorite Vegetable: A Family Grows Up With Autism
