Course Reviews

COURSE:
Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:
Samantha Smirin, Cape Town
"Dawn is a facilitator who is deeply committed to the process she presents. Her knowledge of memoir writing is impressive and the many extracts she presents are read with grace and consideration.She invites participants to engage in exploratory exercises that have certainly allowed me access to the undertow of my work, the true source of creativity.I would highly recommended this process.  You will not come out with a book, but you are bound to know yourself better and gain the confidence to write with gusto moving forward."
