"In this time of isolation and contemplating, I give thanks every day for you, and how you showed me where my words, like so many fireflies, were hiding."

  ~Cherie S., WFTH student for 14 years

​

"Melissa showed me how writing connects me with my true self. I can’t emphasize enough the impact that working with her has had on my creativity and self-knowledge. The joy and liberation that accompanied our work together fostered and cemented this passion, and I may not be writing at all today without her, much less making it my life's work."

  ~Frances L., student since age 10, Yale University graduate in writing, 

MFA in writing at Columbia University

"Melissa’s work is such a gift to all those fortunate enough to spend time with her, especially in this difficult time. It is an honor to support the light she brings to our world.”
