This was an amazing class. I've taken so many other CNF classes and have never gotten such clear instruction about pitches as I did in this class. I can't wait to take another class with Nicole.

“I would recommend this workshop because I think many of us know how to write, but how to reach out to other publications, other than the ones we have an inside track or connection to was beyond me.”
I would recommend this workshop because I think many of us know how to write, but how to reach out to other publications, other than the ones we have an inside track or connection to was beyond me. Your format for the pitch letter was simplified and broken down into specific sections that were easy to digest and imitate!
“The information received in this workshop is valuable and spot on.”
The information received in this workshop is valuable and spot on. There is not a lot of information available regarding pitches, you simply know you have to submit a pitch, but have no clue of how to do it. This workshop teaches you the how and why. I highly recommend.

Her advice is practical and spirit-ful at the same time, straight-to-the-point and delivered with a huge dose of fierceness. Besides making the steps to get your voice out in public more manageable, Nicole empowers you to trust your own voice and assures that you have a story to tell.

All I could think about was sharing this with my daughter. My oldest is a writer. Workshops led by Black women are vital. It gives us the tools to control our narrative and tell the world how they need to deal with and approach us.
