Student Testimonial from Elizabeth’s Writing About Obsessions Class
“Elizabeth facilitated such a generative and rich workshop. I was a bit unsure what to expect going into the course as I’ve never been an essayist. She made the form feel so engaging and natural, providing ample feedback, prompts and readings. I came out of the course with an essay I’m very proud of, and I know that her teaching has enriched my writing practice. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth is so great, and I’m just so grateful that I came out of this class with a really solid draft of a piece that I’m excited to work on and eventually submit for publication. I loved her approach and dry vibe and embrace of obsessions. I look forward to following Elizabeth’s career and future course offerings!”
“Elizabeth’s class structure and teaching style is perfect for anyone looking who needs deadlines, feedback, and a supportive writing community. 10/10 recommend!”
