Resham Karfa – Writing Autobiographical Fiction
This course was fantastic. As a beginner, I did not know what to expect. Writers.com as well as Jack Smith himself provided many resources to get started and throughout. The format of the assignments, the feedback and interaction are intelligent. It is important to have a teacher’s feedback in general; having everyone else take part of that feedback is very useful for growth as a writer. I will be taking another course as I just couldn’t get enough. I did not know where to begin writing, but now I know how & where to continue.

I found Sandy to be an excellent instructor. She met the students where they were, offering in-depth responses to their work, suggesting resources, and providing encouragement. She was generous in the time, care, and thought she put into helping each student grow as a writer and explore their work.

Jack is a fabulous teacher, and his course was perfect for me. The assignments and Jack’s guidance helped me gain confidence and set myself free from the “tyranny” of facts, in Jack’s words. The experience was very liberating, enjoyable, and productive.

The course was excellent. It’s the second time I’ve taken it, but there’s always more to get out of each lesson. The readings were inspiring and illuminating, covering a range of styles and human experiences. The lecture transcripts were engaging and pleasant to read; they were packed with helpful information but also clear and concise. Jonathan’s commentary was, as usual, incredible!

This course changed the way I think about writing. Julie provided great material, constructive comments, and valuable insights that really helped me to find my voice and have more fun with it. At a time when we all spend too much time online, this course on humor writing provided a refreshingly unique “learning bubble.”
