Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm offering this class as a way for students to banish writer's block and write freely and honestly. Personally I have faced many fears as a writer of several novels and a deeply transparent memoir. I know how to dig deep as a writer and move beyond what seems too scary or too secret to write. Brave writing is powerful, moving writing and I want to inspire this kind of power in emerging writers.Reviews
