Testimonials

Brandy O’Briant’s Writer’s Retreat was an excellent balance of writing exercises, peer support, and personal writing time. Brandy facilitated discussions in a way that made it safe to share personal experiences and positive feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed the session of reading extracts from our own work. I left the weekend with a renewed commitment and determination to keep writing and complete my novel.  – Pat D.

Brandy is a phenomenal creative writing teacher. She’s extremely approachable and created a class environment to match. I liked that we did some craft work at the beginning and then were given time to work on and share our own writing. Several beneficial ideas, materials, and readings were provided, accompanied by clear and practical instructions. I will be using much of what I have learnt in my writing from now on. The agenda was well organised and engaging, and I now feel more confident as a writer. I highly recommend her workshops and will definitely attend more. Thank you, Brandy! – Katy H.

“I greatly appreciated Brandy’s writing workshop…just the right blend of instruction, encouragement, and inspiration.  Her critiques were on point, but never harsh.  Her suggestions opened up possibilities that left me free to explore my own path.  Highly recommend.” – Sherry S.
