  • Online Writing About Everyday Life

    Stacy M. • July 7, 2021
    I did like the instructor and the writing prompts, and the positive critical feedback that others in the class provided about writing samples. I did not prefer the chat format over the Zoom format though.
  • Level 1 Intro to Fiction and Poetry

    Anonymous • August 31, 2017
    It was a truly amazing class and I'm so glad I took a leap of faith and signed up for it. Scott Hunter was a great instructor, extremely friendly, accommodating and always allowed the conversations and discussion to flow smoothly in a manner that was informative, insightful, critical and encouraging.

    If you're someone who's shy and not confident about your writing this class will help you get over your fears and boost your confidence. Getting feedback for your writing is crucial to improving your work. The instructor, Scott, is honest and kind, and very encouraging. We had a great group who took critiquing very seriously and was also encouraging and supportive of each other. Highly recommend taking this workshop.
