"Kimberla Lawson Roby is a breath of fresh air because she leads with integrity and love. She facilitates the masterclass as a top-tier, transformational thought leader. I have been writing since I was eight years old. As a result, I have invested time in multiple masterclasses, but Kimberla is in a league of her own. The greatest life lesson for me during the masterclass was having the opportunity to see what happens when you discover the woman God created you to be and then you honor that clarity by sharing your gifts with the people who need your gifts. Thank you Kimberla Lawson Roby for showing me that with God, all things are possible. If you're serious about writing and publishing, do yourself a favor, and attend the Women Who Write Books — Two-Day Book Writing, Publishing, Marketing, and Book Promotion Masterclass. Your future self will thank you!"

"Recently, I attended my first Kimberla Lawson Roby MasterClass. What an excellent investment into myself and my writing career! I learned what motivates a reader and a literary agent to keep turning pages. I also learned a great deal about book publishing options, as well as about the book publishing industry as a whole. I would recommend Kimberla’s MasterClass series to any author seriously seeking to hone their writing skills and to further develop as a writing professional."
—CJ Whitfield
"How many times have you had an opportunity to talk at length with a favorite author of yours, to ask questions about their writing process, fears, concerns, and their journey from obscurity to success? Well, this is my first and only chance, and it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Kimberla was gracious, open, and encouraging throughout our time with her. She created a safe space for dialogue. It felt, for me, like sitting in the space of a wise master of her craft who wanted each of us to find our own success, but by walking a shorter path, guided by gentle warnings of the pitfalls ahead. I am so glad that I took advantage of this time with Kimberla, and I am confident that you will be, as well."
—Serena Holmes
