TESTIMONIALS
Comments from participants in the 2010 Read to Write Books workshop
“If you love to read, now, you’ll love to read even more after understanding the framing and foundation of a great novel.” Kat Depuydt
“A great opportunity to have smartly led discussions about the craft techniques used in both classic and contemporary fiction.” Bailey Malone
“It has been a fun, motivating, and very worthwhile experience. What a joy it was to join with others–who either love to write or were and are avid readers–and hear the many different viewpoints. That alone was incredibly refreshing.” Kelly Shaw
“[Christine], herself a writer and painter, guided us through a very well-prepared and enjoyable experience of taking a focused look at the craft of writing. I enjoyed the selection of books and found the other participants stimulating and enjoyed their company.” Ann Levin
“If you are looking to buttress and expand the elements of craft in writing fiction, this class presents each element in a very integrated way. In the event that you are a good writer and would like to improve your understanding of the elements of the actual craft of writing, this is a great course. Christine has modeled it on her MFA in Creative Writing and it packs that kind of intellectual punch.” Lee Stein
“A mini MFA course!” Marlene Cullen
“Chris is an insightful, engaging teacher with great taste in literature.” Mary Luddy
“Christine is a natural teacher with such a clear and gentle manner.”
