"Last summer I had a draft of my memoir After Her Brain Broke, Helping My Daughter Recover Her Sanity, and wondered how I could ever get it published. I took several workshops through your program and learned key strategies in approaching publishers. Now my book is about to be launched. Thank you! I'd love people who are in my situation to know how truly valuable SFU's program is."~ Susan Inman, Author
