Write! Canada Testimonial

"I'm so excited! I just got the Write! Canada news release in my e- mail and the keynote speakers are awesome. So many of the courses-- right from orientation all the way through--are right up my alley and I'm sure many others feel the same way. You organizers all did a great job!
I've actually corresponded with Carolyne Aarsen about several of her novels. She's such an inspiring person and helpful, I'm so looking forward to taking her course on romance novel writing. I'm so excited that I want to register right this minute!!! My heart rate is going through the roof, I can't believe it, it sounds like such a wonderful lineup this year. Can't wait!"
