"As always, Writers Online Workshops provides a professional online course for writers who are serious about improving their skills. I always work harder than intended because the lectures and the supplements motivate me to experiment with new techniques. The value of having an experienced and successful writer evaluate my work far exceeds the cost of the course or the time required to do the lessons. Frankly, I didn't expect the high quality that I received. Having worked in distance education since 1973, I've become a bit cynical about the quality of the courses being offered by so many sources. It's not often that a customer gets more than he pays for."

"This was really a valuable service to aspiring writers. It is difficult to find a person or place able and willing to teach writers their craft. You did a great job and I'm grateful…. Why did I choose Writers Online Workshops instead of another online writing class? I looked into one from UCLA. Then I got wind of yours. Well, after all, Writer's Digest is Writer's Digest."
—Barbara Wolfe

"I have taken a considerable number of 'professional' courses of different kinds, but this is the most impressive I have been involved with. It is a wonderful experience to deal with true professionals. I want to thank everyone involved for a refreshing and rewarding experience. I wanted clear instruction and guidance, professional opinion and knowledge, clarification of concerns and elimination of confusion, support and encouragement and inspiration to keep me going. I got it all! And the incredibly well developed site and program made it simple to get in and out and get my work done."
—Don Klassen

"The quality of service you all offer is an inspiration—the reliability of the instructors, the comfort of learning without fighting traffic, and most especially the reasonable tuition cost."
—Mary Kelly

"I am a single mother with two children; it's hard to find childcare in order to attend classes. This service allowed me to stay home with my kids and learn. This was the most professional writer's online workshop I found, and I researched SEVERAL other sites. I got my money's worth."
—Andrea Teague

"Due to my work schedule, it's hard for me to get to a formal class. Here I could attend at my convenience and work at my own pace. I liked the one-on-one instruction done in the Personal Notebook. This is something I don't think I could get in a traditional classroom. I like the online setup for submitting assignments. I liked the opportunity to have my work critiqued by both the instructor and the other students. I had never shown anyone my work until this class; something I thought would be difficult was actually a good experience."
—Maria Ciletti

"I chose Writers Online Workshops for convenience and because I have a hearing impairment. I found the program to be well organized and enjoyable to participate in. This program reaches out to people who otherwise might not be able to participate in a learning experience. I subscribe to Writer's Digest, and I truly appreciate the high quality of the program you offer."
—Eva Cutler

"The first workshop was inspirational; all three combined really transformed me. In the course of these three workshops, I figure I've written about 9,000 words. This is amazing! I live writing now. No matter what I am doing, I am mulling over setting, dialogue, character or plot. This has been the greatest experience of my life. If and when I ever get published, I will remember the opportunities these Writer's Digest online workshops afforded me. I still can't believe what they helped me accomplish, and in such a short amount of time."
—Rita Hanner-Ward

"I actually did a bit of browsing before selecting WOW. First, I found your website to be friendly and easy to navigate. All of my questions were answered from the material I read on my first visit. Second, I was impressed with the variety of classes offered and start times of courses; other sites have a much more limited selection. Third, I was also impressed with the choices and experience of the instructors. Fourth (and this made a HUGE impact), I found the sample lecture to be very helpful in giving me a feel for the workshops. So, when I started I didn't feel like I was coming in cold. Also, I felt the cost was reasonable. And, lastly, the time and duration of the course I wanted suited my needs."
—Anne Jordan

"I am almost illiterate when it comes to the computer, and especially when it comes to the Internet. I signed up for Internet access only two days before class started. I found the site very user friendly, even for those of us who went to school not only before computers, but before electric typewriters. I liked the variety of the assignments and the opportunity to try my hand at different styles of writing. I also enjoyed the opportunity to critique my peers. I felt it gave me a keener eye for the errors in my own writing."
