Below find some great testimonials and praise from attendees (and some literary agents) who attended a previous Philadelphia Writing Workshop. This is a sampling of the positive feedback we’ve received from our PWW events.
Even though my page didn’t get read, I thoroughly enjoyed the #phillyww critique fest. Watching the exact moment agents/editors lose interest and then hearing why was one of the most useful things I’ve taken away from any conference. #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity
