Past clients are saying

“Desiree’s (Rose Writers) classes are safe places for self expression. It’s such a privilege to be heard by others, and to hear from them.”

Aileen W.

“I participated in Rose Writers Creative Writing Workshops for almost 5 years . . . . During those warm and wonderful workshops, I grew immeasurably as a writer and as a person. Desiree's knowledge, emotional intelligence, and hospitality were integral in creating a safe space to explore and nurture my desire to express myself through writing, in a way that I'd never experienced before. Run, don't walk, if you have the opportunity to work with Desiree and be a part of her community of writers! ”
