Classes

“The readings were excellent – I’ve been introduced to new writers and developed obsessions with a few. I’ve also written an essay – probably the best thing I’ve ever written – that I’ve been wanting to write for about six months, but needed a pop culture vehicle to tell the story through. Anyway, thought it was fabulous.”

“Lizzie exposed us to so many unique voices/perspectives and always generated a comfortable environment to share our work in. The essay selection was phenomenal.”

“My favorite quote from Lizzie was ‘you don’t have to tell a story only once.’ I can’t explain it well, but it opened a door somewhere in my writer’s mind. I don’t have to be scared I’ll mess up a piece and that memory will be wasted. I can simply start again.”

“The feedback that Lizzie provided was really detailed, constructive, and thorough. You can tell she really cared about making us better writers.”

“I was offered feedback on a very personal essay I wrote for this class—Lizzie was gentle, practical, and helpful in her approach to helping me write and edit this piece. Her advice on other students’ writing also provided a great perspective for a broad range of pieces.”
