Pamela Des Barres Creative Writing Workshops

A recent group of writers

Since the workshop in indiana, I've been continuing to write and THINK...i want to thank you again for all of your inspiration...you show all of us so much kindness, love & support...it's why so many of us love, admire & respect you, Pamela. One thing you have helped me realize is that it is okay to be yourself & show the world exactly who you are, even if it's a little different from what others might be expecting of you. by doing so you're opening a door to allow those who are more in tune to your inner beliefs, etc. to enter your world...such a beautiful thing!!!
--Student from Indiana Workshop

"Miss Pamela is the only purveyor i know of the sort of magic
seeds that grow great writing every single class. Over the years
I've been with her, I've completed stories and essays that couldn't
have flowered without the sunshine of her skillful teaching."
--Melinda Viren
