"This opportunity being offered for free, at a time where I was working 56 hours a week to make ends meet, made it possible for me to participate in this workshop, it allowed me to see myself as more than a worker and mother but as a true artist."
2017
"It changed the trajectory of my writing and daily life. Without the guidance and community gained through this workshop, I don’t think I’d ever have placed myself in the rooms I have."
2021
"I have since been published elsewhere as well as gained the opportunities and confidence to feature at many venues."
Krystal
"The workshops were instrumental in reconciling how I have always been a writer, even when the whiteness of publishing made me doubt myself, or my disabilities limited productivity.
2021
I was only able to participate in this workshop thanks to its free offering. I look forward to attending future workshops provided by RoblesWrites Productions, especially given how it offered a space to develop community with other writers."
