I love Jennifer’s teaching style. She’s so passionate and real about the art form. She reminds us to sit in the mystery of the unknown, shows us what it takes to go the distance, and shares the behind-the-scenes of writing and publishing. ~ Jadah

It’s so wonderful to have a truly safe space to come to. I also really appreciated the direct guidance. For example, when Jennifer said, “Where specifically did you drift or lose interest? Make note of that.” Really helpful. ~ Kasey

I’ve enjoyed being in the presence of minds that like to think critically about literature — not something I really have in my immediate group of friends. ~ Taylor S. Wolfe

I have loved the instruction and going deeper into writing scenes. I love reading new books and learning about plot and structure. I love hearing other writers read and keeping up with the progress they are making. I love getting to read and receiving feedback on my work. Love the community. ~ Amy

I have truly enjoyed the way Jennifer incorporates books, movies, and events from everyday life into the class. I now see stories emerging from the most mundane things! It’s inspiring. ~ Camille

I’ve learned a great deal from each student’s workshopping sessions (through your guidance and edit suggestions). I also enjoyed reading books as a group – this was a big motivator to pick up books I might’ve never read, which amplified your lessons. Lots of positives. ~ Lauren

I absolutely love my time in Studio and have learned more than I can imagine. I went from barely understanding the concept of scene/exposition to being able to confidently apply it to my work to being able to more confidently express to another writer what’s working or not about their work. That’s a big learning curve over a few short years and for that I am very grateful.  ~ Taylor S.

I love Studio. It is a bright light in my week. I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate the teachings, the readings, and most of all, you, our wonderful, knowledgeable, wise, and fearless teacher! And of course, the talented and kind writers, whom I remain in awe of. ~ K. Till

I look forward to class every single week no matter what other commitments and projects I have on my plate. I’m energized and inspired every time. ~ Sara

I fight with imposter syndrome and so appreciate Studio for being so supportive and helpful. The advise Jennifer gives has truly helped, but honestly so has her cheer-leading. Thank you for the great atmosphere you have created in the workshops and for your vote of confidence in my abilities. ~ Steph

I am excited to continue working with you and this group of writers. I have a long way to go to get where I would like to be, but I finally feel like I’m on a path that will help me get there.
