Sign up today for The Writer’s Toolbox and The Writer’s Toolbox Part Two: I Need a Bigger Toolbox


Here’s what the students said about the Winter 2012 class of The Writer’s Toolbox:

What did you like best about the Writer’s Toolbox?

So much! Notes are great. Examples from David’s own writing- great. I loved this course.

I liked that I learned so much- each session added to what I needed to know to improve my writing. The handouts are fabulous and David’s little tips are great.

The tools- gave me things to think about as I write and edit.

What would you tell prospective students about the class?

Absolutely take this class. You’ll learn everything you need to know to become a better, more readable, more sellable writer.

By all means take it. David’s a great teacher. You’ll learn lots and the notes he hands out are really helpful.
