  • “I enjoyed how to let go of my inhibitions and the editor that lives in my head…. It was an encouraging learning experience. I am grateful to the safe environment that the instructor clearly worked hard to create.

    I am very happy I took a leap and went ahead and enrolled in this course.”

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

  • “I learned the importance of studying your genre. Not judging the writing in the first place as it comes out—separating the writing process and the editing process and not trying to do both at once. It can be fun as well as daunting!

    These workshops are always stimulating—sometimes in ways you cannot quite put your finger on, you just feel the inspiration that you carry away with you.”

  • “An atmosphere of trust had been created during the first day. The first day really gave me energy and inspiration to write… I found the second day more tiring than the first.”

  • “I learned that only writing through will get you to the end, and that short sessions of freewriting will help with getting words on the page–and open up the writing mind.”

  • “I found the workshop very energizing. I benefitted from the comments not just relating to my work, but to other people’s too… I didn’t really have expectations to start with, but went away feeling that my writing ambitions are achievable.”
