Testimonials from students (and parents) of Reach for the Stars: A Writing Course for Young Authors:   The class was better than I expected.  The assignments were written out in a very easy to understand format and very straight forward.  Susan’s feedback was wonderful.  She has a way of encouraging that made my daughters want to do their best. (even if one of them isn’t keen on writing)  She was very positive and helpful.  I liked the feedback from Susan and the encouragement/comments that the students made to each other once in awhile. - Julie Hart, parent of two students   What a tremendous blessing Susan has been to my daughter. She has affirmed a talent in Kadi and given her the gift of believing in herself as a writer. Susan encouraged and corrected with such grace that it was readily received … not an easy accomplishment with a teenager. Even more important, Susan has provided Kadi with writing tools that will not soon be forgotten. Her ability to establish an easy rapport with each of the students in this course, was outstanding. I highly recommend “Reach for the Stars” for middle school writers and writers-to-be. - Vicki Tiede, parent and Christian Motivational Author and Speaker   It was WAY better than I thought it was going to be – I loved it more than I thought I would and Susan’s positive feedback was amazing!  Some things really made me think and challenged me, while others I could do pretty well. Most though really were fun while I learned like – a lot! - Kadi Tiede, student
