"THIS WAS AMAZING! THANK YOU! Great speakers/presenters! Great prizes! Great organization! I appreciate the conference. I want to bring my English high school students here next year!"

"I wanted to be sure and say thanks for all the hard work that you and your committee did to make the conference possible. I wish I could have attended many more classes but I had to really focus on a few. I learned so much from the classes and it has really helped me to set some goals for completing my current projects so I can get them out there. Prior to coming to the conference I had not seriously considered self-publishing, but after going to the classes and meeting with the various authors I can see it as a very real possibility now. Thanks again for a wonderful conference!"

"Just a note to tell you how wonderful I thought the WHIE conference was. You were the consummate hostess, the sessions were informative, the presenters amazing, and I felt welcomed. The presenters and attendees were so friendly, and the tone of the whole conference conveyed the vision that everyone was serious about their craft, and willing to share with others so we can all be successful. It was a great conference. The name tags were an added plus the second day, because it’s difficult to remember so many new friend’s names. Thank you, I look forward to next year’s conference."

"My boys came home on fire! One of them got out some index cards and started writing and hasn’t stopped, where before the conference he was just so-so about it. My other son got to work and showed me the cover design for the book series he’s planning to write. It was amazing. Thank you so much."
