She is a kind, attentive, and thoughtful facilitator who truly seems to care about each and every one of her students and their writing paths. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences that have kept me from wanting to pursue a writing career, but with Chin-Sun, I felt more empowered and connected to my work. Thanks so much for offering such a great course! Alexandra Yeboah

Chin-Sun Lee offered excellent feedback! She highlighted areas to grow and expand while also providing encouragement and praise. It was clear early on that her skill set as a writer was exceptional! Dana Black

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
