What People Are Saying About 9 Bridges…

 

  “A friendly group of authors of various genre. I have learned to appreciate the different type of feedback I receive as a result of the “read aloud” format. Great for getting advice about transitions, short pieces, and scene setting. It has also taught me a new way of listening to other people’s stories.”
Ilana Lehmann Member, 9 Bridges

 

  “There is no better time than now for giving credit and a sincere thank you to this group for the help, patience and encouragement I’ve received. Recently, others have commented that they have noticed improvement in my pieces. Gaining a more critical eye for things I read is an unexpected bonus. Anyone wanting to improve their writing skills should seek out 9 Bridges. What a fine bunch of people!”
Fred Member, 9 Bridges
