This was one of the best classes I have ever taken!
The teacher [Elizabeth Mayorca] has a way of making you write more than you thought you would and closer to the heart of what you are trying to say. What a great experience and what a teacher.
I shared my writing for the first time in a class and felt supported, listened to, and guided to keep going.
