TESTIMONIALS:
"Suzanne Roberts layered a foundation for success, teaching me not only solid writing tools, but the process of submission along with the grace of rejection. My narratives are not easy stories to write, proving them quite difficult to read and, often, more challenging to offer feedback. Suzanne handled my painful prose with heart, with a generous dose of craft. Over the years, I’ve saved my early drafts with Suzanne’s handwritten notes, using these gems, still, today, to shape my essays and now, entire collections. I valued her critique, knowing she’d offer heart-felt truth, guidance, and a love for story wrapped in her feedback. Every writer who has gone before each of us, paves a way. Suzanne is one of those writers, trudging through unknown territory. She not only leaves footprints to follow, she reaches back, takes your hand, offers a compass, offers water, offers a north star." --Rebecca
