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.

When a friend or colleague needs a simple one-pager, I refer them to Tracey. Her stories have helped raise thousands of dollars for entrepreneurs and charities.

As a writer trying to record family history 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.
