“Jen gives great detailed notes, including other books to read or things to watch that remind her of the piece. She's also very encouraging and friendly and creates a welcoming class environment.”
“Her feedback was clear and constructive. Over the course of the class, I could see improvement in my own writing based on her notes, as well as in my classmates' work. I felt both encouraged and challenged by her. She did a good job of involving all of the classmates in the workshop, and encouraging everyone to contribute both their writing and their comments.”
“Jen is an expert at getting to the essential core of our stories and helping them to progress in a way that highlights that and accentuates the writer's style. She is phenomenal with structure as well.”
“Jennifer is great to learn from. Her enthusiasm for the subject of writing fiction and her skillful ability to de-mystify the craft by describing the discrete challenges we as writers must climb through is very encouraging and helped me overcome the intimidation I've felt over the prospect of pushing forward from short story concepts and fragments - into a cohesive whole.”
“Jen knows all there is to know about novel structure, and can explain it in a more accessible way than any other teacher I've ever had. Jen has helped me figure out a way to break down my novel so that I can actually write it, instead of staring at the same few pages and not making any progress”
