Workshop Student Quotes:

Eleanor’s class has provided me with a whole new approach to my writing. Her insightful and supportive feedback has helped me understand how to strengthen individual poems, but even more importantly, she is helping me understand how to become a better poet. I strongly recommend her classes to anyone who is serious about becoming a better writer.
Ellen Sullins, Poet

I just wanted to tell you I love the class so far. My classmates are such great writers with unique perspectives. The setting is right out of a dream -- the old table surrounded by the dusty bookcases, and of course just the incredible peace in the place. I adore the command you have of our classroom. It is strong, and it really makes me feel like our work is important. The first exercise was already a breakthrough for me. My husband says he's never seen me write like this before, or as excited about writing before.
Teresa Shen Swingler, Fiction Writer

I want you to know that your wisdom and support mean a great deal to me. Your commitment, not only to the writing process and craft, but to your students shines out like a lighthouse. Your dedication to everyone's story finding the right technique so it can sparkle in the world inspires me to learn more and try harder. Thank you from me and all the stories I want to share with the world.
Shirley Dunn Perry, Non-fiction writer and poet

I am extremely impressed with the depth and quality of your critiques. I took an online course in photography not too long ago (from a published, world known photographer), and I looked at another writing schools promotional materials online, and in both cases the critiques were brief and mostly hand holding rubbish. You are to be commended for taking the time to do it right. Thank you – I look forward to continuing working with you.
Glenn Gilchrist, Fiction Writer, On-Line Class

I do love your class, particularly the structure and the way you keep things moving along. It has far surpassed my expectations and I can't believe how much I've learned already.
Stephanie Innes, Fiction Writer and Journalist

Eleanor has a unique gift as a teacher: she is able to respond to what I might see as flaws in my writing and turn them into opportunities to learn and grow in the creative process.
Sage Bergstrom, Fiction Writer
