Ognuna delle sei
storie pone un singolare interrogativo al lettore:
Un ragazzo
sottoposto ad appendicectomia può inventarsi il resto della
sua vita?
Quand’è che un
sogno diventa pericolosamente reale?
Chi è Franz
Hartmann e dove è finito?
È riuscito Arturo
Fe ad evitare il vuoto?
Qual è il percorso
corretto per scoprire la verità?
Come si può
ritornare al punto di non ritorno?
Alla fine di

"I am both proud and thrilled that I
have a publishing contract for my series entitled The Adventures of
Laura Rose and Ashley Marie. I have also had several other pieces
accepted for publication. Quality of Course has provided me with a
solid foundation and lots of practical learning and skills. A
special thank you to my tutor, Michael Mirolla. I appreciate all the
invaluable help from everyone. Thank you sincerely."
—Debi van de Wiel, Graduate
"I've learned more about writing from
this course than anything else I've tried. Without the valuable
assistance of Mike Mirolla, I would no doubt still be struggling to
be published. For me, the course has delivered and then some."
—Len Ross, Student
"Thank you Mike for making me more
conscious of trying to be less wordy, less 'full of myself', and
more imaginative. Good luck with all your undertakings. Also, best
to the School. May you continue to help writers to get closer to
their goals. Please keep me posted on new courses etc."
—Anne Weinstein, Graduate
