- “The masterclass format is an excellent way to learn, in detail, how editors and
agents think, act, and work. I got a ton out of this fast-paced workshop
and will definitely return.”
— David Dennis, alum
- “I liked the small size and contact with faculty. Faculty and peer critiques were done with care;
all candid and constructive. I also learned a lot from the pre-workshop homestudy.”
— Annemarie O’Brien, debut author of Lara’s Gift (Knopf/Random House)
- “Well organized, well structured. Everything moved smoothly. I liked the intimacy.
My faculty questions were answered. Friendly writers!”
— Natasha Yim, author of
Otto’s Rainy Day (Charlesbridge), a Kids’ Pick of the Lists selection
- “Critiquing peer manuscripts before the workshop meant I could put much more thought into
them than with a cold reading. Very helpful to see how differently the various faculty assessed the same manuscript.”
— Bobbie Pyron, author of The Ring (WestSide Books)
