In Remembrance of Holly Lisle: Writer, Teacher, and Inspiration It is with great sadness that I share the news of…

  I’m so sorry to hear this. She was a beacon of writing hope for me, as for so many others, for many years.

  My condolences to Holly and her friends and family. I was a member here back in (I think) the late 90s-early 00s when I was writing my first SF novel, and Forward Motion welcomed me in with open arms, including Holly herself. I learned so much in the time I spent here, and I’m glad to say that that wonky little novel turned into a self-published trilogy and the start of a self-publishing career. And on top of all that, I do in fact still pay it forward by going to cons to help those just starting out. Holly was such a great inspiration in that respect and she will be missed.

  The news was so sad.
  I am thankful Holly touched so many lives with her writing and teaching.
  I have all her writing courses to read through again and again to learn something new to add to my stories.
  And I can reread Holly’s novels and keep in touch with other writers on her forum and here.

  I have spent several days trying to find the right words to say. Holly and I knew each other since 1992 when I started her Writer’s Digest class. From her first note to me to her last, Holly was unwaveringly kind and helpful. I followed her to online sites and created her first personal site.
  
  Holly did two things very well: she wrote wonderful books and helped people take their writing to higher levels. Those of us who worked with her are better for it.
  
  I miss Holly. I always looked forward to her new books. I checked constantly for new notes. This is a loss I cannot begin to express.
