"I found the Attic workshop allowed me to see the value and potential in every piece of writing submitted to the group...After their first round of Attic scrutiny, one of my own pieces, "Address Book," underwent drastic changes as a result of feedback from the group, and it was accepted for publication soon after. I couldn't ask for better results."
-- Deborah Cravey
