"Not all great classes have to be all about 'learning something.' Especially in the world of creative arts, sometimes the best thing a teacher can do is to inspire. That was exactly what author Coleen Paratore did..."  Lauren Grimley, student at Cape Cod Writers Center Conference http://blog.laurengrimley.com/2013/08/11/catching-fireflies.aspx

Students writing during an author visit with Colleen Paratore, Spring 2016

 "Coleen Paratore is a font of inspiration, and energy.  Her giving nature is fuel for the creative soul.  I have been fortunate to take part in two of her workshops. On both occasions, I left revitalized and more confident about why I write."     Dan Masucci, Writer/Director of DxONE, the first narrative film about Type 1 Diabetes
