My Journey

Desiree Kannel, MFA

Rose Writers begin in 2009 in my living room. After learning about the Amherst Writers & Artists Workshop method, I knew it was the perfect avenue to help others on their writing journey. After earning my MFA degree from Antioch University, I became a certified AWA facilitator and started Rose Writers, named after my daughter, Sarah Rose.

I also hold an elementary teacher certificate from California State University Long Beach, and a post grad certificate in Rhetoric & Composition from California State University Dominquez HIlls.

Finding Their Creative Flow

My first book was just released last week. The classes I took with Rose, helped build my confidence, and helped me become unblocked.

She was a lifesaver during my summer class. I feel more confident in my writing abilities and I see an improvement in my grades. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to polish their writing skills.

Desiree leads with the true statement, "A writer is someone who writes." She stands with you in her workshops to help you discover and define your writing life.
