In only six weeks, the Odyssey Writing Workshop taught me more about the craft and business of writing fantastical fiction than years of reading writing books, attending writing seminars and other workshops, and my many attempts at writing a novel that works.

Odyssey was life changing; Odyssey was eye-opening.  It’s one of those rare experiences that changes the way you approach everything for the rest of your earthly existence, and I’m so grateful I got the chance to attend.

    Jeanne will ask you to dig deeper than you ever thought possible…She brings together an amazing group of aspiring and published authors, challenges you to write better and more prolifically, and commits all of her energy and attention to the workshop participants. Her critiques and feedback were life changing for me. These six weeks are the best thing you can do for your writing.
