Cassi's Writing Workshop Reviews
Cassi is an extraordinary leader. She inspires confidence in new writers like myself. Her love for, and enthusiasm, non-judgemental attitude, her helpfulness and way of introducing writing techniques, etc are very effective. There is not criticism; only observations.
