Doyle’s gritty story about kids and gangs in Newburgh appeared today. There’s a lot of hard work and fine writing here, but Doyle makes it all seem easy. He kindly gives a shout out to the workshop and to his coach, Neil. Congrats Doyle and thanks for the heads up.

I just wanted to let you know that I finally finished my workshop story. It published today. Working with Neil on this made all the difference. I came in with a loose concept and an ugly, unformed draft and went in a completely different direction after working with Neil.
I’ve been to a couple writers conferences and come home with bunches of handouts and some tips that I try to weave in here and there, but I’ve never seen such a direct result as I have with the Mike Levine Workshop.
Thank you,
Doyle
