PRAISE FOR JILL’S SPEAKING AND TEACHING

Kelly Cooper
River Valley Writers Group
“We had the privilege to host Jill Williamson at our writers’ workshop geared towards young adults and adults interested in writing for young audiences. Jill did a fantastic job of presenting a wide range of tips about writing including genres, plot structure, mechanics of the written word, punctuation and self editing. She did some fun exercises and walked us through the process she used to create her own successful novel, By Darkness Hid. 

Ms. Williamson is young and energetic and has the ability to get writers fired up about the adventure of creating a story. I think what impressed me most was the fact that she invited the kids to send their work to her and she looked it over and responded to each one with praise and constructive criticism. Not many writers—let alone a busy mom– will take the time to care about each individual’s development like she did. Several parents approached me later saying that it meant so much for the kids to get feedback from Jill. As a free lance editor she has that extra skill in critiquing that gives her input so much value to writers.”

“Jill Williamson has taught workshops on writing for Young Adults at OCW writers’ conferences. Her workshops have been well-received and helpful. Recently on one of our evaluation forms, a conference attendee wrote: “Anything by Jill Williamson” in the suggestions for future teachers and speakers. I highly recommend her. Her knowledge of writing and her creativity make her an excellent choice.”
