But don't just take her word for it - here's what others have said
I attended Annmarie's Social Media workshopy and loved every minute. She was engaging, clear and taught me more in an hour than I've learned in a lifetime. The woman was born to teach and I'd attend another of her sessions in a heartbeat.

I could listen to Annmarie all day. She's accessible, clear and knowledgeable and tailors information to the needs of the audience. She's also funny which, for me, is a big plus. Hire her, and let her unravel some SM mysteries for you.

Novelist and memoir writer
'The training I did with Annmarie was enormously useful, practical and wise. It gave me confidence, enabling me to have a go at things and not worry if they didn't work out. It showed me how to develop a posting schedule which was achievable while still having a life! Highly recommended. '

Annmarie Miles served as a columnist for VOX magazine since the earliest days of our adventure in publishing.
Annmarie's unique voice and light touch have made her a huge favourite with readers. She has the rare ability to combine comedy and tragedy, the profound and the pragmatic and to do so concisely. . I heartily recommend and commend her as a writer

Editor of VOX Magazine
Annmarie ran a beginner's creative writing course in Lucan Library. She began with a room of strangers and created a supportive and determined group of creative writers - all of whom are keen to continue writing.
Much of this is due to Annmarie's approach and support,
"Annmarie has an enthusiastic and entertaining personality. She is humorous and engaging; whether teaching, writing or talking about writing - it was such an enjoyable experience."
"Annmarie has a special talent not only in writing but in the way she runs a group!!"
