What Amy's students are saying:

“Having Amy Collins as an instructor is like having a warm and funny friend in the often-disheartening book submission process. She is so generous and patient with her students that I found myself wondering how she does these classes on top of her day job. Best of all, I now have a query letter and proposal that I'll feel confident sending to other agents.” – Pam McGaffin
