The Buzz: What people are saying

Participants tell us they have loved our Wales Getaways.
Here is some of their feedback:


"I think you, Peter, are one of the best writing teachers around, certainly the best I've ever had, the proliferation of MFA programs notwithstanding. You create a space where writers can REALLY GROW, and my manuscript and I are very happy to have been in it for a week."
   ~ Kate, New York, NY, Memoir


"The workshop was stimulating and encouraging. I enjoyed the opportunity to think and exchange ideas and opinions with other writers in an environment of trust. The feedback was real and truthful, as well as sensitive. I got every penny of my money's worth."
   ~ Gretna, Somerset, NJ, Poetry


"The program was one of the most enjoyable vacations I ever had. The friendships, the creativity, the entire experience of the workshop, guest speakers and excursions amounted to a trip I will never forget. It helped me as a writer, as a potential novelist, and I'll be back."
   ~ Walt, Linwood, NJ, Novel


"I came to write, and Wales was a super setting in which to do it. I am impressed with your knowledge and the breadth of your experience, Peter, and I am thankful for the community of writers I encountered at the Wales Getaway!"
   ~ Merrill, Middlesfield, CT, Memoir & Poetry


"I thought the feedback would be the most valuable part of the workshop, but actually it was the prompts and the new material they led me to write. I accomplished everything I set out to do and devised a plan for finishing my manuscript. I feel freed—thank you!"
   ~ Terri, Philadelphia, PA, Novel


"Peter, you strike a balance I find most helpful and enjoyable, between drawing out our responses and knowledge and offering your own input. Thank you so much for another wonderful week in Wales. I hope it's not the last!"
   ~ Bobbie, Chatham, NJ, Two time Wales Getaway participant, Poetry


"I got to really see a country I knew very little about and find inspiration in the setting. I ended up with some great starts for poems and made several new friends. Thank you for this priceless opportunity."
   ~ Martha, Colonia, NJ, Poetry
