Praise from workshop members:

"Throughout my career in technical editing, grant writing, and journalism, friends and colleagues have urged me to write fiction. For 19 years, a story has languished somewhere between my imagination and psyche. Thanks to Susanne -her intuitive encouragement, insightful criticism, and gentle bludgeoning-my story is coming alive at last."
--Holly Armstrong, novelist from Connecticut

"I feel bouyed up by Susanne's wisdom. Susanne gets to the heart of the writing and helps us focus on the process--to dig deeper into awareness and find the story inside us."
--Mara Berkley, novelist from Rhode Island

"Susanne Davis's instruction has been invaluable to me in writing my first novel. Her experience and deep knowledge of literature and creative writing have well served myself and other members of our writing group as she provided thoughtful review of our pieces. Susanne clearly communicates her detailed analysis of plot, character and setting so that my work certainly has benefitted. As important as Susanne's technical expertise is the gracious manner in which she conducts the group."
--Ed Burke, Vermont lawyer and fiction writer
