  • “The Simply Writing workshop surpassed my expectation—and stimulated me to write in a systematic way.”

    Gökhan, February 9, 2010

  • “The class was a thorough and thoughtful look at how writing emerges, organically but with some planning to help the process. Lisa is a challenging and engaging teacher who obviously loves to share her knowledge, and demystifies the process enough to encourage even the most reluctant student. I enjoyed the handout and found it a useful addition to the workshop that can be referred to at a later date. The materal is comphrehensive and practical. This is the second workshop I have attended and I’m glad I had the chance to do so. Lisa inspires confidence and models a respectful but firm look at how nascent writing can be looked at without fear of criticism.”

  • “I learned how easily I can pick up a pen now and write spontaneously and creatively….That was a revelation for me!”

    Cindy, February 9, 2010

  • “I had insights about the writing process that had never before occurred to me. After years of trying various methods, and in a group of new acquaintances, the instructor was able to speak directly to me on several occasions and encourage a particular change….I believe everyone left with a new direction, due to the instructor’s method of encouraging participants to speak up and share their thoughts throughout the workshop.”
