Product reviews for Introduction to Writing and Publishing Nonfiction Books

This class was one of the best online classes I've taken. It flew by. The information was extremely valuable and your comments and experience priceless. Thank you for facilitating and for your positive responsiveness!

Verified Student

Over the past six years I've read a few books on writing, written many ideas down, and have strongly considered doing my own book. This course has given me the courage and knowledge to get the job done.

Verified Student

Thank you so much for all the detailed lessons that you have prepared for us. It was an incredible journey to walk with you and the rest of the class through the writing, editing and publishing process. At this point I am totally inspired!

Lisa, you did such an abundance of good things in this class that it¹s hard to know where to start to say thanks. What I do know is that everywhere I go, I see creative nonfiction topics just waiting to be explored in book form. And the best part after taking this class is that now I have a better idea of how to make those books happen.

Verified Student

Thank you for being such a wonderful instructor. You have really offered so much in providing really helpful and well-informed comments. You really designed this beautifully, in logical kind of bite-sized steps that actually take us somewhere!

This class was the turning point for me as a writer. This class is so mind-provoking -- I loved the challenge you presented to us with each lesson.

What a true pleasure this course has been! For the first time in my life, I have the confidence to believe that becoming a published author is a real possibility for me. You are very knowledgeable about the writing process and you know how to relate it to others in a very easy, friendly, straightforward way. You have been very encouraging to me, and you have let me know that you have my best interest at heart. You challenge me to learn and grow and improve as a writer. I loved your lessons! They contain a wealth of information for new writers like myself. You are a wonderful writer and wonderful instructor. I feel privileged to have been a part of your class.

Verified Student

Please let your students know that their dreams of being published can come true if they do everything you tell them to do. I got a contract with a traditional publisher and my book is just hitting the shelves!

Product reviews for Photoshop CS5 Fundamentals

I have been using numerous versions of PhotoShop for many years, since CS2, and several versions of PhotoShop Elements…I can honestly say, as a former teacher myself, that your approach to instructing PhotoShop is by far the most effective of any I have seen. Your ability to break each difficult technique into simple steps, with clear though intricate, easy to follow exercises, followed by assignments that give students enough guidance that they can experience success at each stage of discovery --while encouraging guided experimentation with each process -- is an example of true teaching mastery. It is obvious, as you note, that you have been teaching PhotoShop for a long time, with a passion for helping others share in your passion.

This was a well done course. I was very pleased with how much we covered. I had taken a Photoshop course in the past. It has been years and I wanted to refresh my skills...and I'm very glad I did. This course covered everything I learned in the past and significantly more.

Verified Student

I really enjoyed this course! As a primarily self-taught Adobe user working in the graphic design and marketing field, many of the tools and techniques taught will be huge time savers for me. Thank you for a great class. I look forward to taking more!

Verified Student

This is my first online course and its quality exceeded my expectations. The teacher truly is a Photoshop guru with highly creative, tried-and-true recipes/exercises that are useful and fun...I felt a sense of achievement when I completed the course and I am inspired to take more photography and Adobe courses, a very cool concept...I am grateful to Sherry London for sharing her talents in this online course that gave me focus and energy for the last six weeks...Many thanks to Sherry London!

Verified Student

I have to admit I was nervous to take an online course on a subject as visual as Photoshop. I thought for sure I would have difficulty following along with the text and direction. But Sherry London surprised me and really made everything in this course comprehensible and straight forward. I'll be practicing from her lessons to get the hang of it. Thanks so much!

Verified Student

This was an amazing experience. This course was rich in content and I love the online format. I can come back as many times as i want to review the content and when I do --depending on my own time constrains-- I always find it worth doing. So many thanks.

Verified Student

Several years ago I took my first Photoshop course. I now realize that that course was not up to the standards of this course and this instructor. This is the introductory course that I wish I had taken years ago. Althoug,h some of the material is more in-depth, it is worth the extra time that it takes to get through.

Verified Student

The instructor and assistant, Beth, are responsive, intelligent, patient, and friendly. They created a relaxed, no stress opportunity to learn a rather large software program because of their enjoyable, dedicated teaching style.

Verified Student

I so well remember your CS3 courses - I took both the beginner and intermediate courses. I enjoyed them both immensely and I was very anxious to take another course with you. This time around, I must say I have been even more challenged!

Verified Student

I wanted to say that I have been completely and totally excited about the entire course. I've been taking hit-and-miss Photoshop classes for about two years, signed up for the monthly subscription at Lynda.com and wasted a LOT of money (don't tell my husband) taking some of their courses. I much prefer your teaching style and have learned more in this course than I learned in all of the other classes--and you make it fun. Thanks very much! Will be taking your intermediate class for sure.
