"Erica's writing group is warm and nurturing -- I feel safe to express my raw writing and harvest the good grains of it. It reminds me why I write in the first place." - Marty Jarrell

"There is so much good about Erica's weekly writing groups. Since you write during the actual group meetings, you don't have to "prepare." Erica's prompts are interesting, but there's no pressure to use them -- you can write whatever you want: poetry, prose, essays. I don't know what the greater pleasure is sometimes -- working on my own writing, or hearing from the other participants, who are not just supportive fellow writers, but have become friends." -Maria Mangano

"I would have never finished my novel had it not been for the gentle nudge of our weekly gatherings. The format of short exercises in a nonjudgmental atmosphere makes ideating new scenes, trying new narratives, and exploring plot twists less daunting than writing alone. The positive feedback encourages me to write more." - Tania Osborn
