“Laurie Alice Eake's workshop inspired me and gave me hope that I could write the novel of my heart while still selling books. It offered many practical tools that I happily applied to my writing. She's an incredible teacher, and I hope to continue learning from her for many years to come.” - Dina L. Sleiman, author of Dance of the Dandelion.
