I was stalled out as a writer and needed an intimate and supportive setting to reboot. Melissa Fraterrigo is one of the very best writing instructors I’ve ever experienced, and I cherish her notes on my work to this day. I can honestly say that I not only met my goals for the course, but the confidence I developed went a long way toward landing an agent and getting my manuscript reviewed.

Melissa Fraterrigo offers terrific writing workshops for kids. My daughter has always been really private about her work, so sharing is a challenge for her. Melissa’s guidance has created a valuable place for her to get outside her comfort zone, and I’m thrilled that she’s getting exposure to this kind of interaction at her age.
