What others have said about the course:
"Thank you for providing a safe haven for me to explore finding my voice. I have discovered that I love the HUMOR in my voice. Taking this class helped me see that aspect of my voice and its significance for the very first time. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level." ~T.C. Matthews
"Each and every assignment forced me to look beyond the obvious to things that I never would have considered seeing before. This course gave me so much insight into myself, my writing and just amazed me everyday." ~Beatrice Hall
I have written poems most of my life. And this is by far the best decision I made, to enroll in this course on revision. I learned more about how I get from idea to paper to completed poem. I learned techniques that I can use as I go back and edit poems to make them better. As a busy woman, there were times, I didn't think I could get the assignment done, but the lessons were paced every few days and that was a big help, I never felt overwhelmed by the work load. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the lessons learned and especially for the positive feedback. I am eager to improve my poetry writing to the point I get let my "free birds" fly from my open hands to the world of publishing. Your comments have given me much needed confidence to let my poems get out there and see if they are accepted for publication. Due to your course, I believe I can revise and revise and revise and make my poetry the best I can write. ~ Diana Fiala
I've said this before, but articulating so much about the writing process was extremely useful. I also loved the poetry you introduced us to. And thank you so much for your help and encouragement. You are a great teacher. ~ Harriot Terry West
