Class comments ...

This class has helped me with structure of my stories as well as giving me confidence to try new approaches to memories.  It has brought clarity to my writing.

I will never read (a story) the same way again.

This class gave me so many ideas and guidelines to help make my stories come to life. I feel more confident in my writing and excited to continue.

I enjoyed the positive thoughtful presentation of the class.

Joanne provides challenging exercises that stretched me to develop new awareness about the craft of writing.

Joanne is a great facilitator. She has a tremendous amount of energy and is extremely encouraging – no matter the individual student’s actual expertise.
