TESTIMONIAL
Dee’s relaxed yet thorough mentoring style, rapid and regular communication and open door approachability not only offers clarity and solutions to tricky writing roadblocks, her objective feedback provides solid foundations from which to improve and expand. Without Dee’s motivation and experienced guidance, my first picture book creation would not have reached the publication brilliance that it did.
I highly recommend Dee when seeking creative clarification and assistance with your next writing project.

TESTIMONIAL
​
I was lucky enough to do a mentorship with the beautiful Dee White early on in my writing journey.
She was very patient, encouraging, supportive and inspiring and I will forever be in her debt. I would recommend to anyone to do a mentorship with her. She guides you along while letting your own voice shine through.
