“Heather’s course in novel writing, will shift your entire being. It will not only influence the way you understand story & character, it will not only build the foundation for a life long relationship with your craft, but It will also allow you to travel to the very depths of your soul, to understand the multilayers of your work as an artist and as a human being. Heather’s course will set your inner child free and give you the courage to finally tell that story that has lived within you for so long.” M.M.
