I
owe Mike Foley a great debt. Mike
read my book and suggested some changes - especially in my P.O.V. - and it wasn’t until I made those
changes that I felt good about sending the book out. He was right, and I got an
agent and a publisher as a result of his suggestions. My deepest thanks,
Mike! I would not be published if
it wasn’t for you and Writer’s Review.

Here's what writers are saying about Mike

Mike's sixty-page review of my historical romance Cry of the Bells was
crucial to my willingness to
continue the novel. I finished it at one of his Writers Write retreats at Big
Bear. The book is due for release May 2005, in print and electronically by
Awe-Struck.

Mike Foley is a great teacher and a great editor. He has helped me
"tighten" my writing and improve my technique. Always constructive in
his critiques, he knows when to give advice and when to suggest other
approaches. He tells it like it is, but with tact.

Mike Foley is a writing guru. He not only teaches the basics of
getting your words down on paper, but he encourages his students to write from
deep within their hearts and souls -- and they do! His critiques of my
work assist me in producing the best stories possible. He knows just the right
questions to ask, allowing the writer to end up with a completed piece so good,
readers will beg for more. I utilized his critique services for a short story
-- one that later was accepted and published in an anthology!

As
a teacher, critique-class leader, editor, mentor and friend, Mike is
second to none. How else could I have written two books in less than a
year and a half! His continued support of all who write is valued beyond
compare.

I
have taken several classes with Mike, and used his critique services both
on-line and in the classroom, and have come away from every lesson with greater
skill and insight as a writer. He teaches useful and practical techniques that
have tremendously strengthened my writing.

In his classes both on and off-line Mike Foley delivers a valuable
service to writers. He manages to balance a positive, affirming attitude
toward the writer with a close inspection of plot, character, and small details
that make the work professional. For this reason many of us who have had a
class with Mike Foley tend to return again.
