Unsolicited praise from students and aspiring writers...
"I simply wanted to tell you once more how much I enjoy the weekly e-mails I receive... I appreciate Kristi Holl's articles the most. She always has something relevant to impart. I've finished reading her article ‘Who's in Charge?’ and she never fails to inspire me to keep writing, no matter what. It really helps make my writing day! I've copied quite a few of her words down to read later, to keep me inspired." Loretta Houben
"I decided to send you an e-mail and thank you for your latest article. For a couple months I have been looking for a phrase to encourage me during the assignments. A positive statement I could read each morning because, even tho I'm 50 plus, I really want to do well. I have decided to adopt a point you made in your article. ‘Excellent Writers Do Not Spring Up Overnight... They Are Grown. Slowly.’ Kristi, please know that I do enjoy all your articles and find your information easy to understand and valuable." Linda Korgaard
"I just wanted to tell Kristi Holl how great her articles are. I frequently skim the other ones, but I always read hers word-for-word. It’s like she’s writing the articles just for me, because they are so on the mark. Thanks so much and keep them coming!" Sara Fujimura
