Working with Hector was amazing! I loved the laid back nature of it all, and how detailed and attentive he was with taking notes and truly listening to my vision.

Working with Hector inspired me out of a writers block so deep I thought I’d never be able to create again. I felt heard, appreciated, valued, and that my work meant something. I lack organization, historically, and not only was I given the tools to become better at it, I enjoyed the experience. His creativity and positive attitude are addicting and I am privileged to work with and support someone like him. I cannot emphasize enough how valuable a service he has to offer!
MICHAEL JASSO,
Loud Mouth Poetry Jam Coordinator
Hector really opened up a new writing process that felt personal and in tune with my journey. There's always been a certain type of magic in writing, but the workshop resonated in its use of alchemy and the possibility of transformation.
