As someone who deeply values storytelling and has embraced writing as a personal practice for years, this was my first writing workshop and it far exceeded my expectations. Chin-Sun Lee is an extraordinary instructor, cultivating a Zoom-based environment that felt welcoming and supportive, no matter your experience level. Her ability to engage, inspire and offer perspective is truly a gift. I’m leaving this course with an overwhelming sense of inspiration, new techniques, and excited to expand on the pieces I developed. This class has reignited my passion for writing, and I cannot wait to continue. Davinia Roberts
