I couldn't have asked for a better structure, a more knowledgeable and helpful instructor, and a better forum for working on my chick lit book. -- Julie Easter"Kristin is truly a dynamo! She takes the time to explain her writing process, respond to our writing process, and assist us in every way. She made herself available in and outside of class. A truly wonderful person and teacher." -- Ellen Feig "I had a lot of great breakthroughs and I found it really helpful. Kristin's simple, straightforward and encouraging methods made the class a pleasure and I am, sincerely, so glad that I attended." -- Olivia Martel "Kristin is a great instructor. She motivates you to get the idea from your head onto the paper and get your book done. She goes beyond lecture to actual concepts. I would recommend her to anyone interested in writing chick lit." -- Linda Olatunde "I am presently on chapter 17 of my chick lit novel. I completely could not have achieved what I feel is a pretty great accomplishment without Kristin. She gave me a place to start and set me forth on a disciplined course." -- Cat Hunter "I could not have asked for a better instructor than Kristin. I've taken two classes with her and can honestly say I wouldn't have produced the pages I have without her guidance." -- Debbie Feit |
