Testimonials
The Manuscript Sprint was a great program that helped me write up a manuscript for a longstanding project. Over 6 weeks I wrote a full draft of the paper and got lots of helpful feedback from the other participants.

~ Manuscript Sprints Participant

The Edge Library contains some great selections and I have appreciated the references over the years.

~ Edge Library Patron

The project management strategy of backing out the timeline and including specific dates for completion of tasks works well.

~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant
