“I learned a great deal–– about the different forms of creative nonfiction, and about approaches that different writers take. The deep dive into the nonfiction pieces provided brought to light a number of techniques and strategies that I wouldn’t have been able to glean on my own. This was really helpful.”

“I learned to more fully enjoy the process of writing nonfiction—and to stop trying to be perfectionistic when writing. (Perfectionism is just the faulty logic of imperfect wisdom.) I would love to further explore my nonfiction-writing skills and discover more of my creativity as a writer.”
