ABOUT THE CLASS:
The

your own ideas that will be full of surprises, challenges, and

something solid, beautiful, and long-lasting. Participants will generate
new material and fine tune existing material, and breakthrough story
problems and blocks.

From Wendy's Students:
"Whatever
stage of writing your book you find yourself - not yet started or
almost done - Wendy's classes are sure to fill in missing pieces and
break through stumbling blocks. Whether it's through her unique guided
meditation method, where she navigates you through scenes in your own
book with her soft voice, or running you through the ins and outs of
getting published with her natural business savvy, you are sure to
benefit from her tips and techniques that will get your book finished
and at the door of publishers."
~AG, Bangkok, 2011
"The
class has literally changed my life in many ways. I knew I had stories
to tell but I also knew I didn't have the tools to create a gripping
narrative. Attending the Retreat, listening to Wendy's sage advice and
following her practical guidance, has been a godsend. An unexpected
bonus was how warm, intelligent and helpful the other members of the
group were. I really didn't expect to have the privilege of feedback
from such educated, experienced and wise classmates. In addition to
learning how to write my best and in my best voice, I also acquired a
new circle of friends. So, what can I say about having attended the
Paris Writers Retreat? I guess 'Lucky me!' says it all."
~N. Lane, Paris, France
"Wendy is a fantastic instructor and this course is a great starting point for someone who is thinking about getting a book published, but just doesn't know where to start. Wendy was down-to-earth, accessible and honest - the class encouraged me to keep working on my writing, and helped me know what to expect from the literary industry."
~Marthe Druska
"Wendy Goldman Rohm's students get published! Three writers in my group alone got major publishing contracts after taking her course!"
~Bess Gallanis, author, Chicago
"If you have a great idea for a book and need a primer on how to shop the idea and develop a great book proposal, this is the class. Wendy offers great advice and walks you through the process of getting your nonfiction book idea published. She's very approachable and makes time to help you. I'd like to take a longer workshop with her as I develop my book proposal! I thought it was time and money well spent!"
~Mike Reilley
"Wendy ran the best workshop ever! The classes are exceptional. I have done the Iowa Workshops for non-fiction books, and although they are excellent, Wendy's are more helpful and inspirational, i.e., they translate into moving projects forward with a lot of creative intensity."
