Presentations & Speaking

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tiffany while president of Pikes Peak Writers, as well as president of Delve Writing. She’s everything you want in an instructor—brilliant, knowledgeable, professional, polished, dynamic, and charming. Plus she has the rare ability to make complex information easily accessible, and entertaining, too. On top of that, she’s a fantastically talented writer and editor who gives insightful, constructive critiques of others’ work. She brings wit, class, and a breath of fresh air to every event, and has my strongest endorsement as a presenter.

Tiffany’s workshop presentations and webinars for WFWA members have been invaluable. She includes examples with each lesson point to illustrate exactly what she’s teaching. Her advice on how to approach revisions made the enormous task of editing a full draft clear and manageable, and her practical tips on raising the stakes are ones I employ in everything I write. A terrific editor and instructor.

I just watched your editing video you did for WFWA. Oh. My. God. I have a mess of a book due December 31—and I was in despair. Now I have a road map. I’m going in! Thanks SO much!

I found your classes to be exactly what I needed to round out this second installment of my series. Thank you for everything you do for the literary world and bringing writers’ dreams to life. Though we only spent a little time, your energy is encouraging and uplifting.

Thank you again for such a wonderful workshop. I got so much out of it. You’re amazing! This was incredibly helpful. I’ve soaked up every piece of advice and will be applying it for sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This was great! Thanks so much for doing it! I loved the pace–there was a ton of material crammed into that hour! So much great food for thought.

Thanks for a terrific webinar. I really appreciated how clear and practical it was. I look forward to buying your book!

Thank you—this was wonderful and so informative! Our group has taken so many notes their fingers are sore.

I took an online class with Tiffany Yates Martin and got lots of magic dust sprinkled onto my brain. I’m reading my notes over and over trying to memorize them.

Best webinar I’ve attended in years. Thank you so much!

Thanks, Tiffany, for an informative, entertaining presentation.

You were a fabulous presenter and excellent instructor. You clearly communicated the skills and tools necessary to improve self-editing passes and made a point to show ways to improve as a critique partner. The Washington Romance Writers looks forward to having you back in the future!

Your valuable workshops and consult prompted me to go home and rewrite the first chapters of my memoir. Many, many thanks, Tiffany!

Tiffany Yates Martin is a dynamo–very passionate about her area of expertise.

Your webinar was one of the best I’ve ever attended. I’d thought that you would mention how we writers are going through a rough patch, writing 10 words a day would be adequate while we find our voices during this uncertain time, etc. Wrong! You started off with a major plot twist inviting us to get our glass of wine and sit down to binge watch Netflix! But with a writer’s eye, an editor’s eye, that would stand us in good stead. I learned tons and am invigorated in my writing in an unexpected way. Thank you so much.

Your webinar was wonderful. It was packed with helpful information, and you’re such a great speaker! Thank you!

You did an excellent job, as usual. Full of information and engaging! Thank you again! I’m reenergized for tackling my backstory issues with my WIP.

I greatly enjoyed your talks and found them to the point, detailed, and super informative. Also, you’re a super engaging presenter.

By far one of the best lectures I attended at the conference. It gave me a much better understanding of point of view and how to self-edit. I left you a “five-star” rating and review on the survey and subscribed to your newsletter. Thank you very much for all the useful information and tools for my “Writer’s Toolkit” and certainly hope to see you again at another conference.

“I’ll sign up for ANY fiction-related class by Ms. Martin. She’s that good. She’s made positive contributions to my novel-in-progress. I’m a few weeks away from querying, but if/when I land an agent and a book deal, “Mastering Backstory” and “Secrets, Twists, and Reveals” will have contributed. As I was closing in on finishing the manuscript—always, always self-editing as I go—those two courses provided many aha moments, resulting in a richer, more complete project. Thanks.”

“Awesome. TYM always delivers! I wish I knew shorthand so I could take notes as quickly as she dishes up the prime info!”

“If I could give Tiffany a 99, I would! She presented extremely valuable information in a direct, logical way. This workshop is among the top two for me this year. I was so impressed with her workshop, I purchased her book and have been using since I got home. That’s the best compliment I can give her!”

“Tiffany Yates Martin was absolutely riveting to watch, along with being very knowledgeable. I would have gone to an entire weekend seminar of just her.”

I wanted to thank you for your fabulous presentation in the Writer Unboxed OnConference. It was enormously helpful and inspiring.

“Tiffany Yates Martin was a great presenter. I loved her can-do attitude about fixing problems with drafts in progress. I felt like I have the tools to be able to punch up my work by identifying weak spots as opposed to feeling overwhelmed by them. I would love to take another workshop from her.”

I just watched your session on Tension and Suspense…. I was very impressed with how organized, helpful, and reaffirming your session was…[it] provided food for thought for everyone at all levels. Thank you! The handouts were all well done, too, and I was impressed that during the session, every time you said, “I’ll add that to the handouts,” you followed through on that. I look forward to taking another of your online classes.
