~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nobody can or will ever be taught how to write anything. That said, there will always be a few first rate teachers with experience and love and inspiration and generosity and nerve enough to lead the rest of us curious minds stumbling inward to that faithful and indefinable place from which all writing begins – Rosemary Phelan is one of those few." ~JON BROOKS

"Rosemary Phelan's right|:|left WRITE songwriting series breathes. It's as beautiful and moving as her songs. She offers her excellent ideas about creativity with kindness and generosity. She challenges the participants, in a subtle and caring way, to dig deep to find that place inside them that is unique and inspired. There's always a feeling of joy when a person experiences genuine creativity - when they find and use their own voice. The elation at the workshop was clear and present and palpable. Like the participants, I was smitten with Rosemary and did not want the right|:|left WRITE songwriting series to end." ~ KATHERINE WHEATLEY

"I was recently honoured to be part of Rosemary Phelan's right|:|left WRITE songwriting series. What a treat! The participants were engaged, they asked interesting and thought-provoking questions, and were clearly dedicated to becoming better songwriters. I highly recommend the right|:|left WRITE songwriting series for any writer who wants to improve their craft in a supportive, creative environment." ~ EVE GOLDBERG
