WOMEN READING ALOUD WRITERS in AMHERST WRITERS AND ARTISTS METHOD



“Listening to women, watching women listen and hearing the stories of women who have clearly lived, this is bliss. This is Women Reading Aloud. I have been to several WRA events and I know why I am hooked. It is the listening. We simply do not make enough time to listen and to allow ourselves, our bodies to respond and travel.”
--Joanne Edelmann, New York City, New York

"The Women Reading Aloud Workshop Series has given me the courage and impetus to write and write and write and to share what I've written with others. These sessions have provided me with the incredible bonus of a community of supportive, intelligent, like-minded writers whom I now count as my friends. My outlook has widened, my writing is going deeper. Julie Maloney is a perfect "facilitator," gently guiding us to where we want to be. I'll always be a Woman Reading Aloud."

"The Women Reading Aloud Weekend Retreat at The Beacon House in Sea Girt inspired and supported me to step up, open up and speak my truth. It is the singular mixture of salt, sea and sand, which provides for the unique sounds of voices of women writers. I listened to the courage, I heard the truth, we laughed and cried and wrote from our hearts. It is by divine plan and not by accident that we elected to give ourselves this gift. Thank you to Julie Maloney who champions the writer in all of us.

--Juanita Kirton, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania
