Patricia LaDouceur – Ordinary to Extraordinary: Turning Everyday Experiences into Poetry

by

Tina did an excellent job of both helping us generate ideas and providing feedback. The feedback by the teacher and students helped me improve my poems in surprising and interesting ways. I found it helpful to hear what was striking or moving in the poem, or what was confusing. The prompts were helpful in generating new ideas for poems as well!

Barbara Ensor – Write Your Novel! The Workshop with Jack

by

Jack was very patient and attentive. His comments were on the mark and he made helpful suggestions. Having a group of intelligent and sympathetic readers, including Jack, was enormously helpful. Especially during this disjointed time, when weekends and weekdays blend together and I’m not able to meet with friends, I found it much easier to make progress.

Nabila Zahur – Mastering the Elements of Fiction

by

It was so fantastic working with other serious writers and getting their input. I have taken part in other writer critique groups, but I felt that the difference here is that everyone who came in is really serious about the craft. I managed to revise and rewrite the first half of my novel during this course, and I have a plan for how to tackle the rest. The ultimate success for me was that my husband could see a lot of improvement between the writing he saw in week 1 vs in week 10. Feeling inspired and empowered from this course!

Julie Gibbs – Embodied Writing: Somatic Practices to Improve Your Work

by

This is a brilliant course and one that any writer would benefit from. Understanding how simple, accessible activities done physically can enhance the depth and strength of my writing is invaluable. Rosemary is wonderful. Responsive, kind, direct, shares her wealth of experience so generously. I highly recommend her!

Ray Cureton – Discover Your Writing Niche

by

This was the first course I have taken from Writers.com, and it was all I could have asked for and more! I learned so much from Gloria and from my classmates that I highly recommend Discover Your Writing Niche as a great place to start for anyone who is thinking about taking their writing more seriously. You will indeed find your “writing niche”!

Cheryl Johnson – Mastering the Elements of Fiction

by

I couldn’t ask for a better instructor. Jack shared a wealth of resource materials, allowed us to submit lengthy pieces of work, and gave detailed feedback and made suggestions for improvement. I really enjoyed this course, thanks to Jack Smith’s leadership and the class participants. What more could you ask for? This course was a great educational experience. I look forward to working with Jack more in the future.

Sherry Fooshey – Ordinary to Extraordinary

by

This was the first online writing class I’ve tried and I was very pleased with how well it was organized. I looked forward to each assignment and found the prompts and information stimulating. They also helped me stretch beyond my comfort zone. Tina’s comments were always helpful and direct in positive ways that encouraged revisions for better results. She also suggested specific poets to consider for reading. I enjoyed the class and want to do another soon. Well done!

Karen McCall – The Lyric Essay

by

Gretchen has great ideas and gives coaching feedback as well as praise. It was exciting to learn about new forms in essay writing and how the form can help carry the story. The group of writers was helpful and positive in providing feedback to each others; I really enjoyed the experience of the community.
