Writers' Workshops will begin soon. Check back here soon for more details.

"The classes offered by Nelson Publishing and Marketing are a great place to start if you're planning to write a book. We worked as a small cohesive group with Marian guiding and giving suggestions. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in writing a book." ~Kathy Baird, West Middle School Teacher

"When I signed up for the Teachers as Writers class, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I'd hoped to learn more about publishing a children's book and to get feedback on my writing. The class exceeded my expectations. Marian's experience with the publishing world and her ability to explain how big house publishers work was very enlightening. She and one of her project managers provided very good instruction for writing a quality story. While taking the class, I noticed an immediate improvement in my writing. One of the biggest benefits was the feedback provided each and every class. I'm so glad that I took this class." ~Tina Jones, Second Grade Teacher, Plymouth-Canton Schools.

"Little did I know how invaluable an experience Nelson Publishing and Marketing's Writers' Workshop would be when I signed up last September. Working with Marian Nelson and her incredible staff, while collaborating with other promising authors, made a twenty-five-year-old dream come true: we are publishing my first book this summer. If anyone has ever asked you why you haven't published, you owe it to them and yourself to join this writing class."
~Tia Barbero, author of
Dadsongs.
