I am a very shy person and reluctant to show my work. When I met Tish, she immediately asked me what I was working on. I showed her a page and she said, "Do you have more from where that came from?" I said give me a night and some diet pepsi, and I'll give you some more pages. Ten months later, with support from Tish and with editing and tutoring help from Patrick, my novel is almost finished. I haven't met two more caring, supportive, generous, and kind people. They are a writer's best friend.

Well, no need to tell you how popular Write Yourself Free was...just people being turned away and a lengthy waiting list says it all! Thanks for a fabulous group. It was very helpful in getting me started (or re-started) in a direction I've been "meaning to get to" for a long time. Thanks again to you both.

Write Yourself Free Writing Group. Tuesday nights, Monday afternoons and Monday Nights, Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoons in Stamford. More and more to choose from.
We had a free workshop at the Ridgefield Public Library on September 29th. It was packed and there was a waiting list. This just confirms our suspicions that people want to write and need a little bit of help. So we will be offering even more workshops in November.
In June, 60 people attended two workshops in the Wilton Library and inspired us to start small weekly writing groups.(see workshop page.) Our first group is winding up but there will be plenty more coming in the fall.
Patrick is in the process of putting the Write Yourself Free down on paper. This workbook will be available as an e book, as well as, other formats.
