A few Workshop & Coaching Testimonials...
"I've learned so much from you about how to write—real. I now get that cleverness is not what people want. They want heart. And jokes cover up the pain. I'm learning in reverse to remove the "jokes" as if taking the lid off a boiling pot. Your teaching has really made a difference, not only in my writing, but in my life. [see, no jokes.]"
Judy Carter, comedian, magican, sought-after public speaker, and author of perennial bestseller The Comedy Bible
"I had a breakthrough and came out knowing more about my writing voice, how different I am from others, and not to be afraid of that, but to really go deep and explore it."
Holly Hughes, new mother and writer
"Rachel takes us to her perch, spreads her wings (and her wing span is mighty), and takes us safely over the mountain."
Coleman Hough, screenwriter
"Rachel Resnick's Writers On Fire in France retreat proved to be an intense and invigorating experience. I pushed myself to write beyond my usual boundaries and experienced seismic shifts in my writing after attending this workshop. Rachel has the rare ability to inspire and guide a writer on his or her own individual journey."
Monica Carter, bookstore bandleader and writer
“I didn't know I needed a writing coach untiI I started working with Rachel. Within a week she had assessed my work from the dozen clips I gave her, helped me define my "voice" and map out a book proposal -- something I had been attempting to do on my own for the past two years! I thoroughly enjoyed the process and feel that it has been terrific investment of both time and money."
Linda Renaud, print journalist and writer of creative non-fiction
“Sometimes it takes a few secrets, a few laughs and Rachel Resnick to go a little deeper and simply write. Rachel's warmth and respect for the writing process just lets the work reveal in ever more intimate layers. Somehow in luxury of sharing writing, doubts slip away...”
Madeleine Gallay, fashion maven and writer
"Whatever you did blew me out of my rut and into territories I have yet to explore and digest. The best single writing experience of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Russell Avery, world traveler, philanthropist and writer
"The writing exercises, where everyone had to read out loud what they had written, trained the brain muscle that had been dormant. More than what I had expected. I wanted to get inspired. I got very inspired plus energized plus left with a smile."
Gregor von Bismarck, filmmaker, father and bon vivant
"I loved that the workshop was generative, since it kept it fresh and alive for me -- one who can get lost in moving a word around for a couple of hours. The retreat as a whole was beyond my expectations in all ways. The quality and quantity of work, one-on-one's with Rachel, the writing exercises, the people, setting...wow, wow, wow."
Marcia King, personal coach and motivational speaker
