About Tracey
Hi,
I'm Tracey Arial
Tracey Arial is a writing wise woman with a wealth of knowledge, both conventional and esoteric, about the craft.
She is also a gifted and good-natured editor who can glean, at a glance, the strengths and weaknesses of a student’s work. She then delivers insightful strategies and useful tips on how to quickly improve.
In all my years as a professional writer, I do not think I have ever met a better, or more effective, writing instructor.
Dorothy Nixon, freelance writer
As a writer trying to record family history and their stories, Tracey has been very encouraging and has given me lots of good advice. I particularly like her "happy face" technique whereby she recognizes the best part of our short stories. I feel very lucky to have her help and encouragement.
