Testimonials:
“Pagan Malcolm attended our school recently to facilitate a writing workshop with our students. Pagan was professional, engaging, and she made writing fun! I appreciate Pagan’s creative approach to writing, her attention to detail, and her ability to bring students’ writing to life. She obviously put a lot of thought and expertise into her workshop design, as it was very effective. The writing produced by our students improved by the end of our time with Pagan. I’m planning on having Pagan facilitate another workshop at our school in the future.”
