“Mira’s Magical Mentorship more than met my expectations. My manuscripts are brighter, tighter, more active, more concise, more marketable… The opportunities to interact directly with editors and agents – and then pitch to them! – are exceptional. Above all, Dr. Mira Reisberg not only provides mentorship in the craft, she CARES about her students as individuals. I call her Mira the Miracle Worker!”
Christy Matthes
"Mira’s mentorship program is full of tools, resources, and workshops with editors and agents... Mira has a way of teaching that brings out the best. She cares, has the knowledge, and sincerely wants her students to succeed. I’ve made lasting friendships and brought my writing to a new level. I found the program to be well worth the cost."
Christina Gorton
"Participating in this writing mentorship has been an absolute game-changer for me. Before joining, I had never completed a manuscript... Thanks to the encouragement and accountability I received, I not only finished three manuscripts but also began illustrating—a step I never thought I'd take. Mira’s guidance and insightful advice helped me gain confidence in my creative abilities. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience, which has pushed me to grow.”

"Dr. Mira is an archaeologist. When this course started, I was a mummy with ideas trapped inside. By the end, she had coaxed off the wrappings, bit by bit, so that my storytelling doesn't feel restricted. I learned so many ways to turn my simple writing style into something more interesting and entertaining. If you want personalized attention, with access to great information and people, this course is worth every penny!"
Susan Wollison
"I would strongly recommend this mentorship to anyone looking to develop as a writer. It is amazing value for your dollar and packed full of videos, webinars, courses, tools, resources, workshops with fantastic support from Mira and your critique group. You will write, you will learn, you will grow. Best thing I've ever done."
