    "I tried to write a proposal last year, but quickly felt overwhelmed by the task, simply because I did not know how the process worked. Laura's resources broke the proposal down in smaller, manageable units so I was able to follow through without getting stressed out. Now I not only have a first draft of the proposal, but also a much better idea of where I would like to go with my book. And, most importantly, I found back my enthusiasm for the topic!"
