Student Feedback for Janée
This is a brilliant course packed with value and substance. It changed the entire way I have approached writing- for the better. I highly recommend this class for EVERY writer- no matter where you are in your journey. It should be a requirement for all of us. Thank you to Janee for helping me find my words and save them from being lost forever. Lisa Hamidi
