Lisa Moreau — Rapid Story Development
Jeff was fabulous: no frills or fluff, just straight to the point on exactly what we needed to figure out to make our stories work. He was also positive and highly encouraging and was adamant that we know our main characters, he’s just helping us get clear, which is exactly what he did.

Jonathan McClure’s professionalism is outstanding. His readings of attendees’ work are extensive and offered as in-line marginal annotations. He reads each piece through the author’s sensibility and register, offers relevant suggestions for rethinking a piece rather than alternative words or phrases, and addresses us as adults who are serious about craft and effect. His prompts in the classes are thoughtful, lucid, and provoke valuable effort. If he has a pet metier or school, I don’t know what it is, and hallelujah for that.
