Really enjoyed this class on writing romance for older characters! It was packed with useful tips and information and the instructor was engaging and responsive to all our questions and about anything we submitted for the exercises. Great class! Will look out for future classes offered by Deb to take.
Deborah packed so much great information into just a few days! She was so enthusiastic and really seemed to want to connect with, and help her students. I learned so much about backstory and how to bring my "older" characters to life. I definitely will take other courses with her in the future.
Deborah provided good information and was interesting. Lots of useful ways to include back story.
