Nancy Shaffer – Mushy Middle

This class, and the instructor in particular, reached into my story and my writing practice and took both to a new and more productive level. Jeff Lyons takes obvious delight in turning ideas and even dog-eared manuscripts into real stories.

Nina Goss – Poetry Workshop

Rosemary Bensko’s instructional materials and attention to student work is professional and engaged beyond the expectations for an online course. Her attention to our work is so prompt and engaged—she takes the construction of a good poem seriously and that’s exactly what you want in a poetry instructor. She attends to language, the presentation of feeling, the development of idea and story in a poem. I’m currently taking my 3rd class with her.

Kathy Garland – The Ongoing Fiction Workshop

Excellent. Shelley’s positive comments encouraged me, and her suggestions for changes were right on target. She offers her critique with respect, writing directly about how to improve both the writing and the story. My writing has improved as a result of being in this class and I’ve stayed motivated and productive since the class ended.
