Hi, Brian.
I am happy to finally write in with the news that a short story I created during one of your “Next Step in Creative Writing” classes has been published in the Spring edition of Origami Journal and will also be published this summer in Near to the Knuckle in the UK.
“Edge of Reason” was an exercise in trying to create a sympathetic antihero and was inspired by the sight of young cliff divers plunging into the Mediterranean surf of the Spanish Costa Tropical. 
Thank you once again for your guidance and words of wisdom.

Hi, Brian.
I’ve got a story published on CommuterLit! You’ll have seen this story before in the Thursday evening Next Step class in Georgetown. But check out my edited and published version of “Silence” here.

Dear Brian,
I would like to share with you the amazing news that my personal short story titled "Our First White Winter" has just been published online in the Canadian Immigrant magazine. This was one of the stories I wrote as an assignment for your great Writing Personal Stories  course.
Thank you for your excellent guidance and great help to improve our writing creativity.
Have a wonderful and relaxing night,
Manuel Gomez

Hi, Brian.
I just wanted to thank you for the “Writing Great Characters” workshop on Saturday.  I have been stalled in my writing, and I realized at the workshop it was because I didn't have a clear picture of my character's personality and motives.  Your exercises and handouts have inspired me and I'm happy to say I spent the rest of the weekend writing.  Writer's block conquered (for now, ha)! 
Looking forward to all the upcoming workshops!
Marina Unger
Note: I’ll be leading “Writing Great Characters” workshops on Saturday, July 11, in Burlington (see here), and on Saturday, July 18, in Kitchener (see here).
