Student's Perspective

“WestSky went above and beyond to teach me about writing. The program was organized and efficient. During the lessons, every question I could think of was met with a well-explained answer. Hailey is truly the best at what she does, and I can guarantee anyone who goes through the process will leave with a thorough education.”

Parent's Perspective

My teenage daughter begged to take WestSky’s Fiction Author Program for months… I am so grateful we were able to say yes! I was so impressed with the quality of education and the surprising amount of material covered. My expectations were exceeded. I feel my daughter was put on a fast track to her dream of becoming a professional author… and my goodness, did she love the process! Week after week, her eyes were filled with excitement—every class was her favorite class.

As a mom, I care about the influence in my daughter’s life. Hailey is not only kind and incredible, but she values being a positive role model. She encourages, supports, and sparks motivation… and that impact goes far beyond writing. My daughter gained a mentor, and that is priceless to me. If you need guidance, publishing support, or accountability, you don’t need to look any further.
