“Lori Pfeiffer is a gifted coach. A superb writer herself, she teaches in a practical manner, with excellent communication skills. Lori will organize you - or reorganize you. She’ll give you homework assignments. She’ll push you to market yourself and your product when it’s time. Lori will not boss you, she will guide you. She will not take over your story or write your book in her voice. She’ll help you find your voice and convey it with passion and action. Lori will partner with you, be your confidant, muse, coach and teacher. I have every confidence she will do an exceptional job for you. In my opinion, Lori is outstanding.”

“After enjoying a couple of Lori’s creative writing classes, from which several of my articles were published, I decided to write a novel and hired her as my coach. Lori ventures beyond professional editing with an enthusiastic presentation of ideas and possibilities. She builds an effective relationship with the writer without imposing her personal style. Lori encourages my individual voice and enhances the discovery of the depths of my characters. She guides me through learning advanced techniques of story telling in a personable manner. Because of Lori’s expertise and individual mentoring, I am currently working on “The End” of my first novel. Her approach to coaching and mentoring truly makes writing a fun experience.”

“I attended your session on 'Breaking into Nonfiction Writing' and want to thank you for an interesting and informative time. Although my main outside writing interest is in novels, I am also drawn to nonfiction. It was refreshing to be given so much relevant, practical information and to hear about your own experiences with writing.”
“Lori rocks. Because of her I got published for the first time. She’s bright, creative, and has awakened me from my ignorant slumber.”
“Lori is a great teacher. She helped me come up with my own ideas when I had writer’s block, instead of giving me ideas. I was able to open my own mind and pick story ideas out of my head. I liked how the class was set up. I wish more of my classes were like this one.”
“I really enjoyed the class. You not only show great teaching skills, but very good people skills (probably your PR background). You did a great job and I plan on taking other classes taught by you.”
“I really enjoyed this class and I learned a lot about what it’s going to take to be a freelancer. It’s a good setup for serious students.”
“Thank you, Lori. You are a wonderful instructor. I have always had an interest in freelancing, but had no idea how challenging and time consuming this is. You showed us how it is 'in the real world’ without sugar coating anything. You are a great educator and inspiration.”
“Lori is so motivating and positive that I took her course twice and would take it again.”
