Sue Burnell

– Sue Burnell, “The Leadership Coaching Alligator Handbook”
Cator Sparks

– Cator Sparks, magazine writer

Gisela Mojica
“My initial writing attempts were like a preschooler’s self-portrait: My story had a huge distended potato head for a beginning, with a tiny stick body and flailing limbs — until I met Jami Bernard. She is really a writing muse in disguise who is always hard at work, focusing her energies on helping others.”
– Gisela Mojica, artist
Christina Gombar
“I am an M.A. grad and published author who has taken more writing courses than I’d like to admit. Jami Bernard’s is the only one that showed me how to write well with an eye on the mainstream market. I've been able to apply her toolbox of exercises – working with subtext, narration, dialogue, self-editing – both to fiction and business writing. Most of all, she has helped me find my voice, one that is accessible and true to myself.”
– Christina Gombar, “Great Women Writers 1900-1950”
