“I wasn't expecting to feel so empowered by the workshop, but it really helped lift my confidence and shake off my severe imposter syndrome.” -Alex McHale
“This workshop helped me so much! I was able to get over my roadblocks. I realized that I had so many story ideas and found many outlets that I could possibly pitch to simply because I was encouraged by Amber to think differently about writing and the time I had for it.” - Jaclyn Roessel
Here's what other happy students said about previous workshops...
“This workshop helped me start a piece I’d been thinking about starting for months. I loved the exercises and having the support of the group. Amber’s kind, down to earth approach alleviated any anxiety I felt about producing work.” - Elizabeth Reynolds
“I loved Amber’s gentle, kind, but matter-of-fact energy-- I felt like I was getting writing advice from someone who's been in the world of freelance writing and has a lot of wisdom to pass on. It felt more practical than other freelance writing advice I've had and I love that she gave feedback on everyone’s work.”
- Kelsey O’Brien
“Because of her wonderful encouragement, Amber inspired me to pitch a story to Insider about how my husband and I became AirBnB superhosts. Based on her advice, I didn't overthink it and sent it off. The editor wrote back immediately with interest and I just signed the contract!”
- Hilary Hattenbach
