TESTIMONIALS

What our attendees are saying...

"I experienced growth in more ways than I ever expected. The accommodations were perfect! Simple and beautiful. I made friendships I would never have made on my own and developed a broader view of myself as a writer."

Diana Bateman

"I hoped to get direction for my book, and I got that! I hoped to get publishing direction, and I got that! I was able to feel free to share my book concept, and now I am able to own the fact that I have a voice and I can use it!"

Heather Adamson

"Dorothy’s amazing Birth a Book retreat was THE thing that changed me from just another person who wanted to write a book into an author. Her expert guidance made the whole process not only seem possible, but BE possible."
