“What did I learn about writing in general? Don’t ‘imagine’ and edit at the same time. And that the story chooses you (I loved this).”

“This workshop really helped me establish a writing process that was organized and practical. I absolutely plan to take all I learned to continue to write short stories. I found that I have a lot of stories inside me to share, and with the insight learned in this workshop, I will be able to put them out into the world.”

“[The instructor] seems to have a clear vision that there’s not just one way to write; she gives students the space to develop their own way. I felt this vision was evident in pragmatic tips and suggestions for more technical improvements.”

“I learned how to conquer my fear of finishing a story. It was so good to get feedback on my story; I was left with the feeling that I can write.”

“The workshop taught me a lot about the structural and narrative elements of short-story writing. I also learned how to carefully select every word, so that every bite of the story is full of flavor.
I have also come to further understand the importance of writing many drafts to fine-tune your work. I plan to continue writing in all its forms. The knowledge gained on short-story writing will aid that endeavor and will translate to writing in other styles.”
