About being a part of Anita’s Attic Creative Writing program
As a non-fiction writer, crafting imaginary stories has been a challenge. But Anita’s Attic helped me re-enter the world of fiction. Anita has been extremely generous with her advice, and her guidance has been invaluable in helping me craft the first few chapters of my book. Her sessions on writing dialogues and descriptions, and building the perfect characters, have been very illuminating. Anita has helped me find my voice as a writer.
