I have a few spots left in my spring classes in personal essay and advanced memoir at the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto, which is located at 2nd and Bryant Streets, in SOMA. If you’re looking for a substantive class that will both nurture and challenge you, that is what I offer. Some unsolicited feedback from my most recent classes:

“I’ll write this feedback on the course evaluation, but I wanted to tell you that I’ve learned so much from you about teaching and giving feedback on writing. You have such a gift of making each individual want to continue writing.”

“I want to let you know how meaningful the course has been to me. It is the first writing course (since my college days!) I have participated in and it has been a revelation. I have learned much about the craft–but I have also learned much about myself and others. I have seen how the process of writing can illuminate, frame and provide context and meaning to life experiences. It can also heal and bring closure. It has helped me in unexpected ways at this time.

Thank you for being a wise guide and insightful and supportive teacher. I will miss your influence and gentle prodding (to get on with the assignment!)–and I will miss learning from my talented classmates. Collective risk taking and giving voice to our stories has forged lasting connections.”
