The day Jami’s Advanced Memoir book arrived, I couldn’t stop reading. I had finally found ‘the answer’!
For years I’d bought “how-to-write” books. I thought it was necessary to seek out information on writing from the experts since my educational background was in the medical field. When I registered for Jami Bernard’s Master Workshop, I didn’t hesitate to order Master Class with Jami Bernard: Advanced Memoir, the self-paced course book that was offered in the registration.
This course book is the most valuable book I own second to my Bible. It truly is a writer’s bible to those whose appetite to write a book and get published is insatiable.
Everything from rules of writing to inspiration are included in this book. Most importantly, this book holds all the answers to the secrets of successful writers!
– Danna Nazzarett, writer
