As writer Donald Murray suggested, "Writers need a destination and a plan to make surprise possible." Linda's workshops achieve exactly that. How does she do it? With innovative strategies, inspiration and best classroom practices. Each workshop is a marketplace of ideas where writers excel. Linda says, "I work with individuals of varying backgrounds, ages and levels of motivation. Some come to jump start the writing process; others come to advance a work in progress. Some companies send employees to energize and rekindle creativity. No matter where you begin...expect extraordinary results! This is what good teachers do."
