COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE I'VE WORKED WITH….

“I now believe that I can write and that I will write. I am far more optimistic about this and believe that I am much more open to possibilities than I was two weeks ago. I think that an entire new chapter of my life has been opened.” John B., after taking my Beyond Writer’s Block online workshop.

“I just want to thank you for your comments, Roy. Your remarks to me and the others provided the perspective of a seasoned pro with lots of inside info and insight . . . you gave us practical how-to advice.” PK A., West Simsbury, Connecticut

“Your critiques have given me the confidence to advance to the next stage of approaching editors.” Ray M., Perth, Australia

“Wanted to tell you, I will have been published ten times in April. I owe eight of them to your guidance. I will recommend you to my friends!” Dixie Lee C.

"As a professional writer and teacher myself, I have worked with writing coaches throughout the last decade. I can say, without hesitation, that Roy Sorrels stands out at the very top. Not only is he a gifted writer in fiction, nonfiction, and dramatic genres, but he is also a sensitive and gifted teacher. Roy knows the craft of writing, and he knows how to teach it in an exacting, yet supportive manner. There is no one, whether it be beginning or advanced writer, whom I would not recommend to his guidance ..." Eva Hunter, writer, editor, and co-founder of Connexus: The Writer's School, and The San Miguel Writers' Workshop.

"Over the years, I have worked with Roy Sorrels in a workshop setting, in an ongoing writing group, and as a private coach. Roy imparts the technical aspects of the craft and delivers hard-hitting criticism with intelligence, humor, and compassion. His encouragement and support have been invaluable to me as I pursue my writing journey. It is a pleasure working with Roy."….Lennie R., Austin, Texas and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

"I have worked with many excellent writing teachers over the years, first in informal classes and later as an M.F.A. student. None of them has had the unique combination of gifts — humor, wisdom, experience, and empathy — that makes Roy Sorrels such a fine teacher. Roy makes writing an adventure for his students, a process of thinking and remembering that is not unlike a treasure hunt — fun, scary, and endlessly interesting. With projects such as memoirs, he helps students to look at their lives through a prism, focusing on specific issues and elements in a manageable way. He accepts each student at his or her own level and helps break down the barrier between writers and 'the rest of us.'" Sarah W., New York City.

"Roy helped me get started writing, and he helped me keep at it. When I'm as successful as I want to be, and he's helping me in that direction, he'll be one of the major reasons." Lloyd B., Crawfordsville, Indiana.
