“Lisa is a highly skilled teacher who is adept at guiding students at all levels and abilities, experience, and English-language proficiency, including native speakers. The tone she sets is professional, where students and writers feel comfortable exposing their lives as well as their writing. I highly recommend the writing workshops; I’ve left each workshop with a written piece to develop further.”

“I learned more about the editing process. Really believed that I had to get it right the first time or I wasn’t good. Understanding how drafts work makes me feel like I can be more creative–and that it becomes a process instead of something I get right or wrong.
I also liked the mix of theory and practice.”

“Lisa is a great teacher. Enthusiastically, hilariously, dramatically, she guides you past all of literature’s obstacles—and makes you feel as though you conquered them yourself.”

“I learned a lot about what matters to your writing: context, dialogue, details, setting, conflict, etc. It was highlight after highlight 🙂 and wonderfully inspiring to be surrounded by other writers.”

“I learned techniques that can help bring my text to life.
What surprised me about the class?
The dynamic—it was very interesting, every second. There wasn’t moment in which I wanted a take a break or stop to refresh my mind. Although it was a lot of information, it flowed like a river.”

“I understood where to look for concrete examples that can help at certain stages—and how to build credible characters as well as a consistent conflict. It made me realize I’m ready for it; I have the capacity to dive into the chaos.”
