“I have been a part of the wonderful Wild Writers group for 2 years now, meeting weekly via zoom to share, enjoy and review each other’s work. We are so blessed to have Karen Comer facilitate the group. Her guidance, editing skills and kindness is extraordinary, together with Kinchem Hegedus, the Director of the stunning retreat Springfield, where many of us first met.  Each session is an absolute highlight in my week and has been instrumental in helping me establish a daily writing routine. I learn from everyone in the group, who offer wise and encouraging feedback to each other. I am learning to write with courage and vulnerability, thanks to the beautiful women who have become very dear friends.”
