  • “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.”

    JS, February 25, 2019

  • “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.”

    Inge, May 27, 2018

  • “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 learned how to work with loose and disconnected pieces towards a focused idea. I also realised that the part of the reason why I sometimes feel stuck is that I don’t have the perspective clear. It was a very safe and supportive environment that I enjoyed very much. I have learned so much this past year. I am looking forward to continuing learning and developing my writing in whatever form and shape that may be.”

  • “GOOD FUN…the most inspiring and amusing and knowledgeable teacher. I don’t know how she musters that special wonderful energy; it is a huge pleasure to be on the workshop.”

    Karen, September 2, 2014

  • “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.”

    Elena, September 2, 2014

  • “It was very beneficial to me to be able to see that I’d actually achieved quite a lot already– and to meet people who were totally passionate about writing. I’m not sure I’ve ever met such a large group of passionate, articulate and interesting people.”

  • “I enjoyed the lively, inspiring guidance and involvement of the instructor; interaction with other class members; homework & it being read aloud— and feedback.”
