Marilia's writing lab spurs my daily creativity in ways I never expected. I'm delighted to have more clarity about my intentions, with fresh ideas on how to live and work. Most of all, the rich exchange of sharing spontaneous writing is a treasure. Kind listening and warm encouragement ' go a long way to make writing both joyful and rewarding.Margaret Kachadurian (President, and co-founder of Montana Mindfulness Project)I really appreciate how Marilia makes the Writing Lab a group experience where it feels safe to write from a place of freedom and vulnerability. She offers inspiring prompts for our writing and maintains a structure that supports good conversation and writing time. I thoroughly enjoy my time at the Writing Lab!Travis Burdick
(Music Teacher )I highly recommend The Writing Lab. Academic writing often gets stuck or takes a while to get going, and this can happen not only to inexperienced students. It also happens to professors and scholars who have been publishing for a long time. And why does it stutter? Or why does it take so long to start or warm up the engines?We need to listen to what we have to write, and if we listen to it through other ears (The Writing Lab), absolutely in tune with sensitivity, creativity and the quality of what we can produce, we start to feel very safe.Marília Librandi's accompanied and companionable listening (with her admirable academic experience) is acute, sensitive, generous and extremely attuned. An absolute ear. A lighthouse on the high seas, inviting us to make the crossing with confidence, and motivating us to listen to the siren songs around us and throw ourselves headlong and with an open heart into the waters of our ocean letters. We are in the middle of the sea... Make sure you're not alone. Come to The Writing Lab and have a good (well-accompanied) voyage in your academic writing.Raquel Abi-Sâmara* (Professor of Literature at the University of Macau.)(*Raquel attends the 1:1 Lab. In three months, once a week, she has completed a book chapter and an article.)
