Jasmyne is an excellent writing coach/instructor. I wanted to write for many decades, however I frequently had writer's block and never established a consistent writing practice. Her guidance, knowledge, encouragement and genuine feedback have been instrumental in me finding my flow in writing.

I have participated in a series of Zoom writing classes led by Jasmyne, spanning a total duration of 18 weeks, with each class taking place once per week. Throughout this period, Jasmyne has proven to be an invaluable source of guidance and expertise, particularly in the realm of crafting a memoir.

Several years ago, I had initiated the process of composing my memoir; however, I encountered challenges that led to frustration and ultimately caused me to set the project aside. Jasmyne's Zoom classes have significantly altered this trajectory by equipping me with a comprehensive skill set essential for effective memoir writing.
Under Jasmyne's tutelage, I have acquired a nuanced understanding of various critical components of memoir writing. These include the art of cultivating a cohesive story theme, mastering the strategic application of dialogue to vividly portray characters' personalities, and harnessing the power of evocative descriptive nuances to establish a vivid sense of time and place within the narrative.
Notably, one pivotal aspect that had been absent from my memoir was the incorporation of descriptive emotions. Jasmyne, with her keen insight, has consistently underscored the paramount importance of infusing these emotional dimensions into the narrative tapestry. It has enriched my writing, transforming it into a more authentic and resonant reflection of personal experiences.
In summation, Jasmyne’s instruction and insightful direction provides the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of memoir composition, with renewed confidence and proficiency!

I so appreciate Jasmyne's classes. Her methodology really works. We critique each other's writings in a positive way and learn about our own writing intently listening to others.
I became a writer in her class although Initially I was very unsure of my ability . She gave me confidence in my own voice.
It not only helped my writing but I also found it easier to give speeches and teach classes.

Jasmyne's ability to help edit work I submitted for publication was invaluable.

Jasmyne was such a pleasure to work with. She responded to my request right away. She listened well to my thoughts about what I wanted to communicate and asked pertinent questions that helped when clarification was needed. I felt that we were working together on these pieces and I appreciate feeling that she was helping me to fine tune as opposed to taking over.
Jasmyne was aware of my time lines and was totally committed to working with my schedule.

I participated in Jasmyne's tutorial on how to use Chat GPT and ProWriterAid. Jasmyne provide detailed and clear instructions on how to prepare for the lesson and was great at guiding me through some technical problems I was experiencing on my computer. The hands-on lesson helped me learn how to use Chat GPT and ProWriter Aid. I've been able to use these programs on my own after one one lesson. Jasmyne
teaching method is very organized and practical. I highly recommend Jasmyne's classes and services.

I look forward to Jasmyne's writing class every week! I've been wanting to write for a long time, but being consistent was so difficult. Jasmyne's class helps me to nurture my creativity and to be accountable. Getting feedback on my writing has been invaluable. Class also helps me to hone my writing skills by listening to other writers in my group and learning how to give feedback on their writing - Jasmyne gives us terrific guidelines so we can be successful at this. The best part for me, beyond actually getting my writing done, is listening to the writing of the other people in the group - I have learned so much about writing and about other people's experiences - I always look forward to hearing the next edition of their story. Thank you, Jasmyne, for holding space and guiding us in this wonderful class!

Jasmyne was instrumental in helping me turn my blog entries into a full-length book. From working out the bigger picture themes to detailed editing and finally providing excellent advice on self-publishing, she was an exceptional resource in myriad ways at key points during the transformation process. I appreciated her timely response to my questions and easy style of communication. She was truly a joy to work with and I will look to her again when I embark on my next major writing project.

I began working with Jasmyne in a group setting with the desire to turn an idea I had into a book as a first-time author. Immediately, the quality of my writing improved. Jasmyne has now been my writing coach and editor for almost two years. Not only does she have excellent technical skills, she possesses the perfect combination of positive encouragement and brutal honesty, which helps keep my project on track.
