	Testimonials

San Miguel Writers Conference (Mexico)

SMA logo “Ray Rhamey’s teaching and presentation skills consistently scored at the highest levels in attendee evaluations. After each of his three workshops at the San Miguel Writers’ Conference, I heard many ‘really helped me’ and ‘I learned so much’ comments, some writers even offering ‘best workshop at the conference’ comments. For all those reasons, I look forward to Ray presenting again in San Miguel.”

Susan Page, Executive Director

Write on the Sound--comments from attendees on the killer first page workshop:

In my 3 years attending WOTS this is the best, most helpful workshop I've attended.
Loved his approach to using participants’ 1st pages to analyze, also loved his sense of humor.
Love this class, most helpful of all.
The best one of the day, so helpful and interactive.
Most interesting class of the day, format unique, discussion of other's work most informative.
Eye opening!

Idaho Writers League

“Ray Rhamey delivered to our writer's conference exactly what I'd hoped for, depth of knowledge, exuberance, and openness. His 3 Keys to Killer Storytelling workshop was an outstanding success. His professional presentation of the material, complete with excellent PowerPoint examples and meaningful exercises, brought positive, enthusiastic responses from the attendees. It was truly a hands-on workshop which I highly recommend.”

Brian Cornett, Conference Chairman
