Savala’s intimacy with her audience is magnetizing. Our whole group loved her grounded, wise, and humor-laced commentary and insights.

I could listen to Savala talk for hours. She is as compelling in person as she is on the page.

A powerful and dynamic speaker, Savala is a joy. Her lectures on the art and craft of writing offer serious insights. At the same time, she’s warm, lighthearted and entertaining. She was also wonderfully generous with our students’ questions.

Savala’s speaking style is powerful and approachable. I was deeply impacted by her presentation, our audience was extremely engaged, and we quickly invited Savala back for another talk.
