TESTIMONIALS
Cate
“If you have a heart for writing, whether beginner, published, or in-between, I would so recommend Deeanne's retreat. After years of attending retreats, this is the one that brought everything together. Deeanne not only taught the technical in a precise and easy to understand way, but she delved into the heart of how to write a bestselling novel. I left her course believing, for the first time, that I could ‘do this’ and actually become a published novelist.”

“Deeanne's writing retreat was everything I wanted and more. As a new writer, I had been seeking as much guidance on the craft as possible. I had purchased books and attended conferences before, but nothing has compared to Deeanne's retreat. It is without a doubt worth every penny. There is not a single piece of her advice that I haven't used. I have struggled to write my novel for a long time, but with the valuable lessons I learned, I completed my novel, which seemed like a pipe dream not long ago. I am also a high school Dramatic Writing teacher, so I was able to take all of the information and handouts that I received and share what I learned with my students.”

“As an aspiring author, this course explained everything one needs to know, in a perfectly organized, enjoyable and effective way. Deeanne presented information in such a well-planned manner, that what I learned changed the way I see movies, books, plots and stories in general. This retreat opened my very beginner writer’s mind to know what one must do to become a published author. Deeanne is super smart, approachable and focused during the retreat, making everyone comfortable and allowing for intellectual growth. Truly, one of the best things I have ever done.”

“I have to admit, when I first considered going to Deeanne's Writing Retreat, I held back because I had a lot of questions, and I felt that I wouldn't fit in, never having written before. I emailed my concerns and was promptly answered and encouraged to join, even as a ‘newbie’ to the world of writing. Turns out, I wasn't the only newbie and I enjoyed the Retreat tremendously! The material was presented in such a way that it didn't matter if a person was coming in as a new or seasoned writer. There was something for everyone. Deeanne is very organized in her presentation, and very present as a host.
While there, I learned so much about becoming an author and writing a novel. I was so encouraged and excited! The camaraderie of being with others was inspiring as well. I left with new friends that I still have today.
I think my favorite part was seeing first hand how an award winning, published author does her job, and being able to sit, talk with her, and ask questions in person. (Also getting a critique of my writing from her was pretty awesome!)
I am so glad I attended, and would highly recommend the Retreat to anyone who asked me about it. It is worth every penny, and worth every minute! Something you will always remember and never regret. Even if you don't ever finish your novel, it is a great thing to add to your life experiences.”
