Just want to thank you, Joanna, for a truly brilliant workshop experience in “Your Characters Hold the Key.” I’m working on a memoir and wasn’t sure how the workbook/ workshop would apply, but afterwards I left with SO much more clarity and alignment about where to begin and how to make my story compelling and relatable. I cannot recommend it enough. Grateful for the immersion in your passion and intellect, Jo, and your eye on my project. Clear that you love this work! -- Lydia Maier, Memoirist & Substack author, Second Wind.

This was such a useful (and oddly relaxing!) workshop, as well as good fun - I am going to put the principles into action this month 💛 I really appreciated the mix of listening to your advice, discussion and filling in the workbook with ideas as we went along. It was a multi-tasking two hours and made planning a story seem much more do-able. Thank you! -- Jacqueline Day, Pen and Plough Tutoring​​​​​
I attended Joanna’s ‘Writers, Get Unstuck!’ course. Her delivery was articulate and authoritative. In the space of just two hours, she provided a solid framework with which I’m able to create order and clarity from the chaos of my ideas. Recommended for anyone who needs unravelling and demuddling.

I have been thinking about a writing project for ages, but always felt stuck because I didn’t know where to begin. Not only did this workshop give me tons of useful tools and strategies to start writing, I now have so much more clarity about how to structure my book to get to the end. In fact, it gave me so many ideas that I will likely write more than one! Joanna has a clear communication style which made the concepts easy to understand and apply to my specific project. She was also open to interaction and answered all of the questions I had which was super helpful. I highly recommend Joanna’s workshop and look forward to working with her again in the future!
