Heres what people say about her entertaining workshops and lectures:

“ Nina shares her expertise with endless enthusiasm.  I always go away with double the energy than when I came!”—Krista Fogel, UBC, Vancouver, B.C.

“I was fascinated by Nina’s clear and extremely interesting lecture on the hero’s journey.  Maybe all writer’s have a novel in their heads they want to write one day, and the techniques Nina  shared with us will help me when I get to that point.  In fact, because of her, I may get there a lot sooner than I had planned.”— Zoe M. Hicks, Saint Simon’s Island, GA

“Nina Munteanu’s command of the subject matter and her ability to explain in a way that the audience understood was excellent. As a hopeful author, I found her words inspiring.”—Amanda Lott, Scribblers Writers’ Retreat, GA

“Nina  shared much about her own journey as a writer and made it approachable, relevant and humorous. Nina  was enthusiastic, supportive and full of ideas about how she could approach her time at the conference. As a bonus for us, she stayed well after her session was done to connect with the girls over lunch. We had a great time working with Nina!”—Pamela Richardson, Calliope Conference Coordinator, UBC, Vancouver, B.C.

“Rarely have I encountered someone of Nina’s considerable talent and intellect tied to such an extraordinary work ethic…A gifted and inventive writer, Nina is also an excellent speaker who is able to communicate complicated ideas in simple terms and generate creative thought in others. Her accessible, positive approach and delightful sense of humor set people at ease almost immediately.”–Heather Dugan, Columbus, OH

“What you’ve done for me, Nina, is you’ve just opened up a whole new world. You’ve shown me how to put soul into my books.”–Hectorine Roy, Bridgewater, NS

Nina’s online and on-site individual coaching are also popular:

“Nina was warm and encouraging.  I felt free to share my fears and ask questions.  She was extremely knowledgeable, gracious and honest.   I felt as though she really wanted me to succeed as a writer, and was a mentor sent to provide guidance and inspiration.”–Zoe Hicks, Saint Simon’s Island, GA

“Nina provided invaluable advice with humour and finesse. It’s great to have access to such a friendly and funny individual who’s willing to be a sounding board to both beginning and career writers.”–Marie Bilodeau,Canada  

“Thanks Nina! My songs, stories, and screenplays…can all benefit.”—Colin Wiebe, Vancouver, BC

Nina’s guide to writing The Fiction Writer: Get Published, Write Now! has been adopted in schools and universities throughout North America for their writing programs and forms the basis of her modular workshops and her popular workshop series, A Writer’s Toolkit. Praise has been generous.

“The Fiction Writer is at the top of the required reading list for my students…A veritable cornucopia of hands-0n help for aspiring writers of any age…The quintessential guidebook for the soon-to-be-published.”–Susan H. McLemore, Language Arts Instructor, Glynn Academy

“Nina Munteanu’s The Fiction Writer  is the book I wish I had 15 years ago.  Writers young and old can find ways to improve their work, with the book’s fun, easy to read format.”— Theresa Vinson, Book Seller

“I’m very impressed… Nina shares the hard-won knowledge she’s accumulated…I’m thoroughly enjoying the book!”— Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of Rollback
