What People Are Saying:

After working for more than 20 years in publishing and working my way up to senior editorial positions in publishing departments, I'd had a lot of experience helping authors and writers get published. I'd also written hundreds of articles for magazines. But could I write a book, a good book? By myself? I'd already read Louisa Deasey's best-selling memoir A Letter from Paris, so I knew she was a great writer. And after diving into Louisa's masterclasses, I knew I'd found a gifted instructor and a skilled teacher. Louisa is the ultimate publishing professional. She knows the essential components of a great story, and she understands how to pitch your book to publishers and develop a good relationship with your publishing house. You get the full package with Louisa and believe me this is a rare thing in the hurly burly world of online courses.

Sharon Lapkin, Editor

I have known Louisa for 14 years. She is an amazing writer and interviewer, uncannily perceptive with a gift for nuanced observation. That, blended with her media and publishing industry savviness, makes her formidable. To top it all off, she is extraordinarily nice.

Mystic Medusa, Author

Louisa worked on a massive website edit and re-structure for the State Library Victoria, one which was actually considered impossible due to the tight deadline and complexity of the project. Simplifying masses of complex web data and crafting hundreds of pages of web content, we met the deadline and now have a website that is in line with best practise for the millenium.

Louisa is one of those rare writers who is always researching and searching for a better way to do things

This memoir program lived up to its promise and more. I finished my memoir in the first week, instead of the last week. Then, somehow, I reviewed all 20 chapters and reduced 1M+ words to a mere 285K in a single ‘book’ document by the end of the course. AND I have a hook, plot points outline/table, query and synopsis. After twelve years working on my memoir, this was quite incredible!
