Testimonials

Peter was exceptional—we were in the midst of a pandemic (and still are) with each week becoming more challenging than the previous and yet Peter somehow guided us through the abundant uncertainty with encouragement and commitment to stay focused on the writing. So grateful for his perseverance and steadfast leadership and integrity as an instructor. A million thanks.
