What the writers said...

"Thank you so much for this platform. To say Deadlines has been a huge help as an organizational tool, and for the energizing, creative push it gives me, is an understatement. Being part of this practice has reignited my belief in me as a writer."
Cecile Callan
“I very much appreciate this course and know that I would not be writing this book without it. I can see how I am gaining more productivity (and word count!) as I continue. The insightful support from the other writers is greatly appreciated, as are Mia’s weekly check-in/writing zoom sessions.”
Elise Morrow
“If you’re reading this, you’ll be wondering whether or not to sign up. Do it. Do it now. Don’t hesitate any more. You will not regret it. Instead, you will develop regular writing habits, have consistent constructive feedback on your writing and best of all, you will have an antidote to the isolation that can come with writing.”
Jackie Kohler
“I have learned so much and enjoyed every story. Story writing sends me to another world, it defeats pain, stops time and provides a source of joy and laughter.”
Chris Joyce
