PHOEBE LARMORE
"I will bask in the creative after glow of Wendy Goldman Rohm's writers' courses
for a long, long time. During my many years as a literary agent, I attended numerous
writers conferences, but none of them came close to the extraordinary events for writers that
Wendy presents. Wendy, who is a best-selling author, is also a respected literary agent.
She has the gift of inspiring writers to expand their visions and hone their crafts, and of
sensibly instructing them how the publishing world works. To be under the spell
of Wendy's wise wand, and to be supportively surrounded by other
writers who are working on their books or scripts, is to be richly nurtured
in the imaginative realms of words, stories, plots, themes, beliefs, characters, time,
place and narrative voice. I return to my own writer's desk enlightened, enriched
and energized. I am blessed by new friendships with fellow writers
and am filled with gratitude for the grand literary dame
who brought us all together."
--Phoebe Larmore, literary agent to Margaret Atwood , Tom Robbins, and more.
