REVIEWS OF WRITING ROME & AMANDA CASTLEMAN
“In my first workshop with Amanda I went through all the stages of writing and marketing an article on Magellanic penguins in southern Chile. To have my first article accepted by the first publication I approached – Christian Science Monitor – was like rocket fuel for me, and I have Amanda Castleman’s expertise to thank.”

“I’ve taken 2 master classes with Amanda. She doesn’t disappoint. She has made me a stronger and a more confident writer. If you ever get a chance to take her class, DO IT!”
— Katie Portanova
“I haven’t taken Amanda Castleman’s class – I already make a living as a travel writer – but because she’s a friend, she just looked over a 6,000-word piece I was doing for National Geographic Traveler. Plain and simple, her comments and suggestions were the best I have ever seen from any editor, anywhere. Amanda’s a genius.”
