Words of praise
The studio is a challenging, fascinating and safe space for new as well as seasoned writers to work on their technique. Jennifer is not only a talented writer in her own right but a gifted teacher. I have consistently walked away from each workshop inspired and ready to push my own writing forward.
An original and rewarding writers’ studio for all levels. Jennifer’s table is a great place to delve deep, write and interact, progress and engage. Highly recommended.
Jennifer sees writing as a muscle that must be exercised often to build skills, add depth, identify and target issues, and, critically, find one’s voice. I thoroughly enjoy inhabiting her workshops, which at once challenge me to flex my creativity and tighten my grip on the craft. The longer I spend in Jennifer’s world, the better and stronger a writer I feel.
