Brenda Umana – Writing Mindfulness
I loved it! It was my first experience with Writers.com, and it was nice to not be on Zoom and to jump in the discussion board at my own pace. Marc had such a nice balance of amplifying my strengths and giving me the confidence as a beginner, while gradually providing concrete feedback and areas of improvement. I really appreciated this approach.

The course structure, covering so much in a short time; the course material and examples offered in support of each topic; and the instructor’s feedback on my work and that of my co-participants, were all truly outstanding.
Read MoreTom Lorio – No More Excuses
This was a great way to get feedback and direction for a piece of writing that needed both. Julie is super supportive and also very honest (and gentle) about what works and what might be edited or improved. I really appreciate her style.

I felt validated by both Giulietta and my classmates. Their warmth and helpful comments have buoyed me on. The course was fun and I felt free to “let it rip!”
Read MoreParnel Wickham – Writing Mindfulness
Marc’s “lectures” and assignments are creative and stimulating. He was prompt with his responses to my poems, he seemed to read them carefully and he understood them well. His critiques helped me revise my work and develop my abilities as a writer.
Read MoreMary Bevan – Poetic Prose
For me, the highlight of the course was being introduced to so many new ideas and forms by a teacher with a great deal of knowledge—and who is, herself, a writer of beautiful prose poetry. I’ve now got a treasure-trove of ideas to experiment with in my own work, and I am certain the course will pay dividends as I follow these up. Thank you to Barbara for all her hard work.

This course FAR exceeded my expectations. It was my first time taking a writing class and the content of the course helped me to move forward on a project that has been sitting in the back of my mind for years. Kelly was quite simply PHENOMENAL—she was open, responsive, encouraging, and peppered her lively sense of humor through the critiques and lessons.

This course has been the most inspiring and transformative of any course I’ve taken in many years. As a writer and person I had been stuck and in a funk, but this course awakened me and has moved me in a new direction. Truly an amazing experience.

The course has exceeded my expectations. Fantastic lessons and feedback from instructor and students. It has opened my mind to history of prose poetry and different ways to approach prose poem. I would highly recommend to writers of all genres!
Read MorePeter McMurran – The “I’ve Always Wanted to Write Fiction” Workshop
Shelley uses her words carefully while getting to the essence of one’s assignment submission. She is adept at pinpointing the strengths, or areas of haziness. When I reached out to her on an issue privately she responded immediately. She is a nurturing soul but also a straight shooter. Excellent experience.
