Testimonials
I look forward to each and every meeting of The Fairy Godparents Club, even the ones that I miss and have to catch up on in the cloud, and I love that my fellow fairy godparents, who are a wonderful, as in full of wonder, and talented and generous and resourceful lot themselves, and whose very presence is the secret sauce that keeps me coming back, not to mention all the fun speakers and contests and giveaways and opportunities to share our progress and projects with, will understand when my one 'short' sentence goes on a bit more than some, because we all know that one must be very careful when dealing with the fey, and who's to say that you aren't dealing with one right now, eh?
—Steven “Aelfcyning” Aultman
Getting to spend time, live with like-hearted people! I especially love hearing each other’s work, and getting such supportive feedback from other writers and lovers of folklore.
—LadyQuinn Columba
While there are many, many wonderful benefits to being a member of the Fairy Godparents Club, including receiving early news and information about The Fairy Tale Magazine, fantastic workshops conducted by gifted presenters, and celebratory events of the season, the thing I love most about the club is the people. The friendships formed within a supportive community of those with awe-inspiring talent have provided me with inspiration and motivation, as well as encouragement and entertainment. The club members and staff of Fairy Tale Magazine create a welcoming environment, are passionate about fairy tales, and are sincerely dedicated to their personal craft. Their talent is truly amazing. Being a member of the Fairy Godparents brings me joy and who would not want more joy in their life!
—Deborah Sage
My favorite thing about the Fairy Godparents Club is the friendships I have formed. Our group is full of talented readers, writers, poets, and artists who share a love of fairy tales and make the world feel magical. Writing can feel lonely at times, and meeting with the Fairy Godparents Club reminds me I am part of a fairy tale family.
—Kelly Jarvis
I'm currently reading Jane Harrington's wonderful book about the French fairy tale salon writers, Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance: The Forgotten Founding Mothers of the Fairy Tale and the Stories That They Spun, and for me, the Fairy Godparents Club is a real life version of that—a lovely, supportive, creative bunch of like-minded fairy tale friends!
