Testimonials
“Her writing prompts were productive and inspired me to start writing pages from day one. Her workshops are incredibly nurturing, too. She offers a space where writers can feel comfortable sharing their work and her feedback is always constructive and helpful. I would take more classes with her in a heartbeat!”
- Patricia Garcia
“Dana is knowledgable, perceptive, and, as a writer, brings her experience to the group. She is well informed and often suggests novels that we should be aware as inputs to our writing. All of us in the current workshop we are attending would be happy to continue to work with her. That’s the best compliment."
-Charles Wendel
“As a struggling new writer, I learned so many tips and was able to give my work and characters more depth. Her class setting was small enough that every student was able to get great feedback on their work. It was also large enough that I got the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse set of individuals and be exposed to different writing styles. It was a great mix and I looked forward to our weekly sessions. In fact, I loved her class so much, that I hired her as my editor! (Which I highly recommend others to do.) It can be a difficult task to mentor a new writer without crushing their spirit, especially when their first manuscript is more than a little rough around the edges, as mine was. Dana was and has been able to give me professional constructive criticism while maintaining a kindness that has inspired me and enabled my writing to flourish.”
-Whitney Cerdan
“Writing has always been a passion of mine, but over the years I had become disconnected from the art. I had no expectations going into her novel writing course; just the hope that I’d start writing something, anything, again! If I had any expectations, the class exceeded them and helped me in so many ways. Dana provided resources that helped encourage and organize my writing. She was flexible and really catered to the individual needs of each participant. She was always encouraging and open-minded. Aside from her being an amazing teacher and supporter, the class is also great because it introduces you to other gifted writers. I met so many unique and wonderful people who inspired me with their writing as well as their experiences and own challenges putting pen to paper. It was the first time I had felt creative in a while. The structure really helped me set goals and keep up with my writing. I recommend her courses for anyone who has any interest in writing. It was a special experience that I was happy to be a part of.”
