Feedback

I am a fan of Christina’s style. In a beginning workshop, the right thing is to encourage, to be warm and humane, and to critique according to the objectives of the exercise. She unfailingly finds one or two salient bits that could use some working on, but she always leaves the writer feeling validated and worthy of carrying on for another week.

I thought Inge was great. She would give lots of specific and practical examples when discussing how to improve our writing and our submitted exercises.

Inge is well-read, informed and attentive. I believe in her. She has a no-bullshit approach. She's real and kind.

Sarah is a brilliant teacher. She is an amazing listener. Maybe the most insightful reader I’ve ever met. She is incredibly empathetic, yet tough and trenchant with her criticism when she needs to be.

Jennifer made me feel I could actually write an appealing short piece. Her assignments were clear and her feedback was practical and stimulating. An experienced teacher, she doesn’t shy away from sharing her own writing struggles and victories. In other words, a pro.

Jennifer created a safe environment for me to take my first steps as a fiction writer, after years of writing journalism. Her feedback was always precise and encouraging, and what’s more, she somehow managed to make solid critiquers out of our entire group. She truly created a warm and positive atmosphere.

I love that fact that Sarah is open to all genres, all kinds of writing. She does not hold back on giving honest feedback, yet she encourages too, points out what works.

It is Sarah's feedback which has helped me the most in reaching a point at which I am working on a novel, at last.
