If there is any community to be a part of, the pinnacle is Red Herrings Society. I’ve never felt more at home with any club or group than what Mary and CJ have built. I tell all my writing friends about it and I grow with each lesson. Because of RHS, I’m a stronger writer and more motivated professional. ~Savannah Manhattan


Being a part of The Red Herrings Society has infused fresh life into my dying writing career. I was to the point of giving up. Full stop. But the supportive community, educational resources, encouragement from Mary and CJ, and the opportunity to be a part of the society's anthology of short stories has reignited my passion for writing and pushed me to keep going. I wouldn't be putting the word "author" after my name any more without it. ~Dakota Foster


"In the company of the fantastic folks at RHS, you'll find not only inspiration but also camaraderie, support, and a shared passion for the written word that will fuel your journey as an author." ~Rook Riley


Joining the Red Herrings Society has helped my writing life in ways I never expected. Not only are the members amazingly supportive, but so are CJ and Mary. The teachings from CJ and Mary are outstanding, and we always have so much fun! Join. Join now! ~Joan Stradling


The Red Herring Society is one of those groups that you're immediately grateful to have found and be a part of. From advice from all walks of life on this writing and authoring journey to creating lifelong friendships, I cannot express how much this community has enriched my life. With help from Mary and CJ's writing sessions, webinars, and constant encouragement, I've taken my writing and career to a place I never thought I'd reach. With them, I found my community alongside so many passionate and profound writers. Without RHS, Im not sure I would have found my stride or have gotten my work out into the world with three published stories. ~Colleen Brown


The Red Herring Society is one of the Seven Wonders of the Writing world! Why? Because you are constantly informed, educated, and challenged to do and be your best. This community is generous, kind, and always ready to answer anything you are wondering about. I count this community as one of my greatest treasures. ~Susan Burdorf


One of the best decisions I've made for both my writing career and my personal happiness was when I joined the Red Herring Society. I have made connections and friendships, developed my author presence with guidance from Mary and C.J., and grown as a writer through the masterclasses. Joining the RHS community is an investment in yourself and your future. ~Robyn Baker


Have you ever felt lost, trying to find a word count for a genre, the way to get published, a beta reader, or even just someone to talk about writing with? Then you should join us at RHS. I've never been happier in a community, and I've made so many friends - on top of learning so much. Mary and CJ are excellent teachers (and people), as well as those they work with. Plus, you'll get to learn all our inside jokes - we might even have cake. ~Fallon Willoughby
