“Our sixth through twelfth grade students thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Coty’s presentation of A Writer’s Journey. They were inspired by the fun, practical writing tips and guidelines Mrs. Coty offered through her own writing journey, and her captivating book had them eager to read on. Her personal example is an encouragement to writers of any age – how to create stories that are both well-written and inspirational. We are looking forward to having her back to challenge and inspire our students once again.”

“The moderate as well as voracious readers in our homeschool group were highly encouraged by Debora Coty’s presentation of “A Writer’s Journey.” God was definitely in the details of Debora’s journey and the students did not miss Him. From a teacher’s perspective I was glad to hear Debora’s explaining metaphors, similes, double entendre, and concise writing – all tops on my agenda for our current group Shakespeare study. Debora’s positive suggestions for stronger non-fiction writing helped the children gain confidence for improving their topical reports as well as for taking on the challenge of writing fiction. The dramatic reading of the tense scene from A Distant Shore highlighted everything Debora taught them about showing, not telling. My daughter finished The Distant Shore in three days and can’t wait for the sequel, Billowing Sails. Thanks, Debora, for sharing your expertise, your life and your story with us.”

~Lise Dews, Homeschool Educator

“Debora has such a great sense of humor, we all just loved having her visit our group to discuss the background and details involved in writing her inspirational historical novels, The Distant Shore and Billowing Sails. You gain such an appreciation for the stories after hearing her describe the “real” characters. After your first visit with Debora, your book club will be inviting all their friends to come hear her the next time. We look forward to reading more books by Debora Coty.”

"Your presentation for the Writer's Workshop at the Seffner/Mango Library was a huge success. Twenty-three prospective writers, young and old, were mesmerized by your style, which was peppered with humor. Your content and spontaneous personality generated such contagious enthusiasm to the attendees, they left with eagerness to put pen to paper. All of the very positive written evaluations asked for more workshops from you in the future and we will certainly comply. Thank you so much and we are so proud to have an author of your stature and caliber as a resident of Seffner."
