“I have worked with Laura Ehrke for the last ten years, and always find her to be professional and courteous. She has created and edited a large number of sales materials for me, resulting in increased business from my customers. Her efforts on many occasions supported me in closing millions of dollars in new business and her knowledge and skills were invaluable to me, our customers and our team.  She is able to quickly assess what is needed and consistently produces high-quality pieces ahead of the deadline. It is a pleasure to work with Laura, and I highly recommend her.”

“Laura is a wonderful instructor. Creative writing classes can be intimidating, but Laura is generous and supportive. She gives examples and exercises that help you be more creative. She also helped set the tone of the class for the students by being accessible and open-minded. I recommend her class to anyone who has not taken a class like this before and wants to find encouragement. Highly recommended.” Dr. Pearl Ratunil

“Write a Novel in 30 Days Workshop: The NaNoWriMo Challenge was the best writing experience ever! I took the course because I thought it would be fun. However, little did I know, it was a source of great inspiration. Learning how to stretch my innate, creative talents was something I never imagined. The expertise in teaching and motivation techniques used by instructor Laura Ehrke were executed masterfully. My classmates and I wrote with incredible speed, each student was astonished by the progress made. This class was the impetus to write a book that is my ‘calling.’ Prior to taking this class, I never thought I could become a published writer. After taking this class, I always believe I can become one.”

“I attended the Memoir and Family History course taught by Laura Ehrke. Each class provided writing inspirations which I know I needed. She took us through a very structured methodology of teaching us how to approach writing our family histories. She is extremely encouraging and allowed us all to share what our approaches were and how the work was being developed. She encouraged feedback and provided guidance when we got stuck. I am keeping in touch with Laura for her next courses at Harper College because I definitely want to be on the roster!”
