Why or Why Not?

  • "Because it was incredibly helpful, especially in the time we're living in where it's quite difficult to be in groups physically."
  • "Because it was informative, helped with technical aspects that I ignored in the past. It also helped to be paired with other writers who shared my interest in genre. The feedback I received from those in my group helped me to receive critique and added to my self confidence as a writer."
  • "It was such a rewarding experience, I'm already looking for more options!"
  • "It was awesome! I learned a lot and I loved that everyone taking the class was just there because they enjoyed writing and wanted to do something they love. That genuine thirst for knowledge is incredible!"
  • "It was well planned and inclusive. The articles were immensely helpful and the homework made sure I practiced what I had read."
