Bio
Laura Comppen, MA
I recently attended The Shore Thing Writing Getaway and was thoroughly impressed with the venue, content, pacing and overall feel of the event...'twas food for the soul! Peter's easy-going style and sense of humor were inspiring and motivating. His philosophy of the getaway as an "escape from the distractions of your busy life" was exactly what I needed. I would love to attend another writing event with Peter and highly encourage others to do the same. #wortheverypenny
