Student Feedback for Janée

This is a brilliant course packed with value and substance. It changed the entire way I have approached writing- for the better. I highly recommend this class for EVERY writer- no matter where you are in your journey. It should be a requirement for all of us. Thank you to Janee for helping me find my words and save them from being lost forever. Lisa Hamidi

These last six weeks have felt like a dance through the halls of both mystery and possibility. There is so much information and excitement in this programme that I will keep re-exploring these lessons over and over again. Glen Cohen
