“Abigail really facilitated a warm, encouraging environment in both workshop and class writing exercises. Revision feedback was so helpful. I really enjoyed the in class writing exercises and how they were focused towards the character and story that we were already writing/ workshopping in class. I ended up using some of these writing exercises within my story. A really great class.”
