Student Comments
I could not be happier with Jen’s commitment both to my personal development and the class as a whole. Jen went above and beyond in creating a supportive workshop environment. Not only did she provide thoughtful criticism of our weekly assignments. She helped me build the confidence to pitch and land my first food writing piece, with a second on the way! Jen is kind, enthusiastic, and a smart reader—basically, she’s the whole package as an instructor and writer. Jenn Hall
Jennifer was great!! She truly cares about what she's teaching and she very open and responsive. Will highly recommend Jennifer and if she offers another course I'd be very interested in taking it. Sequoia Armstrong
I enjoyed the class, content and dynamism of Jen throughout the class. My writing has improved considerably since I started doing these coursesI would (and have), recommend the classes. Patricia Lopez
I loved this class. I though the lessons and assignments were varied enough to cover multiple aspects of food writing. I enjoyed exploring sides of food writing that I would not have ventured into on my own, like writing recipes and covering a science-related food story. - I really enjoyed working with Jennifer. Her feedback was very useful, and I liked that she got to know the three of us in the class individually. Plus, although she is a successful and busy writer, she wasn't condescending to us newbies. Pamela Hunt
The content was relevant, engaging, and challenging. Jennifer was great! I've never used Writers.com before, and after my experience with Jennifer, I will def try another course. Katherine Levey
