"I have taken two separate week-long classes with Richard and he is probably the best writing coach I've ever experienced. He's thoughtful, engaged, and often very funny." --Nancy Harmon Jenkins, author of Virgin Territory: Exploring the World of Olive Oil
"An excellent teacher."--Marilyn Moss Rockefeller, author of Mountain Girl: From Barefoot to the Bedroom
"Richard Goodman's weeklong memoir writing workshop for me was a perfect blend of professionalism within a relaxed environment. The shared experiences of writing exercises and critiques by individual students created a unique educational experience, culminating in a valuable learning experience. Drawing from books, articles and Richard's own professional career, he passed on an excitement and enthusiasm for the writing process."--Catherine Lane Diehl
