Loved the class. The prompts were varied and I enjoyed when you included readings or inspirational documents to help guide us.

Both the students and instructor are excellent writers and supportive human beings.

I love going to class and will probably return for the next session.

–Mattie, Tue nights

The Thursday night sessions always ignite the writer within. I have many pieces to edit for possible submission somewhere.

–Toni, Thu nights

This writing retreat took place in a tranquil countryside setting that set the stage for self reflection and gave me the ability to write with a flow that had been blocked during the last few years. Cindy was a great teacher and facilitator as she helped our small group write about life from a place of truth-telling that was healing for me. I am grateful for her leadership and to each participant for helping me find my voice in writing with honesty and vulnerability in the midst of my complicated and messy real life!

-Susan, The Porches

This was an amazing opportunity to write, reflect and refresh in a beautiful setting with fantastic people.

–Brooke, The Porches

This is a fantastic retreat for anyone looking to deepen their writing practice. Thank you!!

–Lisa, WAB

It was an honor to write with so many women who have the same goal–writing and sharing self. That was a moving, deepening, edifying experience. Cindy responds in true and genuine ways that can only encourage writers to continue to express and and to BE their authentic selves. …communing through writing. Thank you for bringing us together in this offering.

–Kim, WAB

Testimonial 1

Cindy guided me with sensitivity and clarity through the entire editing process of my collection. She spent time and consideration with the piece as a whole, first responding to the larger work before focusing on the writing line by line. Her edits and guidance were specific and profoundly helpful, and my questions or concerns were answered with suggestions that were clear and welcome. Cindy’s knowledge and attention to detail improved and clarified my writing, guiding it to what I intended it to be when I first began the work. Cindy is a generous and respected reader and editor. She challenged, supported, and encouraged me and I will always be grateful to her.

As an editor, Cindy Cunningham offers the deluxe package. With a brilliant mind for the overall structure and flow of a manuscript, she also has a keen and detail-oriented eye for line edits. She makes sure every “i” is dotted, every“t” is crossed, and that no comma gets left behind. Cindy has helped me transform hundreds of pages of jumbled, raw material into cohesive, and beautiful manuscripts that would never have existed without her. And while she is good, she is also incredibly fast. Working with Cindy has been a god-send. As a writer, I no longer feel I’m sailing the dark seas alone.
