After hearing good things about Writer’s Relief from a fellow workshop attendee, Julie signed up as a client and, in just a short time with us, has already earned four acceptances for her beautifully crafted short stories. Her eloquent, flowing sentences express her characters’ every emotion without bogging the story down with lengthy dialogue, and the conversations that do arise are never superfluous: Each line works to drive the plot home. More than anything else, Julie’s contemporary writing does something few writers’ can: It tells the truth, unequivocally and unabashedly. Watch Julie’s video to find out how Writer’s Relief helped her go from unpublished writer to accomplished author!

In Her Own Words

Fiction writing is my second career. I left a grueling schedule in the violence against women movement because I wanted to spend more time with my young children. Finally, I had the time to pursue creative writing, a lifelong wish. I took a class at NYU and the instructor, Susie Mee, invited me into her private workshop. It was an incredible experience to explore creative writing, surrounded by a talented teacher and a group of aspiring writers.

But how was I going to find the time to try to get published?

One of the students in Susie’s workshop mentioned Writer’s Relief. I looked into it and knew it was exactly what I needed. I could squeeze the time out of my family life to go to Susie’s workshop and produce some writing, but Writer’s Relief was the answer to where the time would come from to get published.

Submit to Review Board

I became a client in 2010 and since then I have had four short stories accepted for publication. With the help of Writer’s Relief, I have also been able to make the time to write a novel, which I plan to submit early next year.

Thank you, Writer’s Relief! With your help, I am a published author with credits and confidence.
