Testimonials

"Grace's class was very practical and informative. I felt like I left with actionable steps about where and how to pitch story ideas. She also made me look at story ideas in a new light. I would recommend this class to anyone new to writing personal essays for publication." -Jordan L.

"There are a lot of writing workshops out there, but this class is unique and fills a key niche by giving aspiring writers the inside perspective and tools to make the leap to publishing their work. The class time sped by, and every minute was rich with useful information. I learned a lot. Thanks, Grace!" -Pearl C.

"Grace provided a nice overview of what makes for a good personal essay, offered us all with useful commentary on our in class writing assignment, and followed up with a helpful list of publications that are looking for essays! Grace was knowledgable and encouraging!" -Jennifer Q.
