Testimonials


Susan's class should be right up there with Lamaze classes as a must for all expecting mothers who are also writers. She has armed me with practical advice so I can avoid shortchanging my family or my career - and the permission to let myself off the hook if I do. Now I'm looking forward to the birth of my child and the start of my new life! -- Lauren Snyder

"I wanted to hear what it was like to be a mother and writer and I ended up hearing what I needed to hear most. There's no way I can do it all, but now I have a few ideas about how I can get some help along the way." -- Susan Hodara
