LOREE'S STUDENTS SAY...

"The woman's smart, funny,
and up to her ears in writing experience..."

"Thanks to your insightful and detailed lessons and handouts, I now have a dozen articles published in national magazines, and my second novel has just been contracted..."

"Because of you, I have won half a dozen national writing competitions. Because of you, I now have a book on the shelves..."

"Enclosed are copies of two articles and a short story that were published as a direct result of your input..."

"I have enclosed copies of acceptance letters I have received from editors at S&S and Bantam. The glowing remarks of both are due in no small part to the hard work you put in with me prior to submission..."

"You taught how to write a slam-dunk query and a winning synopsis..."

"Her sense of humor is infectious and makes learning a pleasure..."
