Testimonials
Jami Bernard helped me recognize the self-sabotage that was standing in the way of my productivity. Through wit, practical assignments and well-researched lectures, she helped me become a more effective, efficient writer. I am most grateful for her gentle critique and enthusiastic encouragement.
--Nancy Boomer Jami Bernard is absolutely the best writing instructor I have ever had, I've learned more in one class than I had in whole semesters of college. Her comments are thoughtful, thorough, and extremely useful. It is obvious that she spends a lot of time with each student's work, often times doing additional research. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. --Vanessa DeBello
"Jami Bernard is an amazing teacher. She helped bring out my theme, and kept me going even when I thought I had nothing in me. She is great!" -- Liza Deyrmenjian
"Taking Jami Bernard's Memoir class was not just educational, it was life altering. Writing a memoir had been a wish of mine for a long time; it became a reality in the course of this class. Everything I needed to learn and explore about writing in this format was covered in a safe and encouraging envoirnment. Jami has an great sense of committment to her students which will be obvious if you take the class." --Cara Coslow, co-producer, Dante's Cove
"Jami Bernard was committed to the success of the class and helped each one of us find OUR story and how to tell it. Her humour, experience and accessibility were apparent from the first day. I live in France with a six hour time difference which made the chats very late for me (2 - 3am). I didn't miss one chat which says a lot about the quality of instruction and class involvement. Merci et Bravo!" --Kathryn Kemp-Griffin, owner, www.soyelle.com

Media Bistro attracts the best caliber teachers AND students...I was mesmerized by the talent and stories of my instructor and classmates.
