Endorsement from Tina Moore, of the40by40.com:

"My name is Tina Moore and I took Peggy's class last June with a friend.  In less than a year my writing life has completely changed.  I was always a daily journal writer but because of Peggy's class I was inspired, motivated and now had the knowledge to take my writing to a different level.  I met Renee Shupe at Peggy's class who created a beautiful blog which I launched in September of last year.  Since that time I am getting hundreds of hits each week, and the numbers continue to grow.  I am getting searched by name and by blog title on a daily basis.  Because of my blog, I have also been hired as a writer for another company's website and newsletter, so not only did I create my own following, I have also created INCOME.  I have completed my Ebook which is currently being edited and will be launched this spring. I am also in negotiations for some exciting business opportunities and speaking engagements.  All of these opportunities are a direct result of the information, inspiration and motivation I received from Peggy's class.
