“I cannot say enough good things about CJ, Mary, and The Writer's Sanctuary. It is evident just how much effort (and love) goes into every retreat, presentation, and workshop they offer. I've attended many of these events over the years, and I will continue to do so, because I've yet to find any other offering that provides the down-to-earth, honest and truly useful advice CJ and Mary dish out. I love that their events are applicable to both traditional and indie publishing routes! These wonderful women and the community they've created with The Writer's Sanctuary have given me the knowledge - and confidence - to pursue my dream of being an author.”
