“I’d tell anyone: Patrick can help improve your book. He was a great friend and adviser to “Empty Mansions,” helping us discover the themes, develop the characters, and find an organization for the overlapping storylines of Huguette Clark and her family. He is the plot whisperer.”

– Bill Dedman, co-author, of the bestseller, “Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune.”

“Soon after I moved to Westport from Texas, I had the good fortune to meet Patrick McCord and watch him interact with writers of all levels of experience. Whether the subject was plot, character, sentence construction, or the writing process, Patrick could articulate in a couple of sentences things it took me years to figure out. And that’s only the beginning of what you will find in this warm and wonderful community of writers.“ Charlotte Rogan, author of “The Lifeboat.”

Writers ask me “what do you do there in that little red schoolhouse?” Here is the quick answer. We are a writing workshop with many writing sections. And we have a method —  a method that works. We also provide support services to writers such author events, storytelling, informational evenings, an editorial services company, and a publishing imprint.
