“The course is brilliantly constructed, interesting, and varied. I loved the writing exercises and, what’s more, I actually did them. Even though I was super busy with work, I was writing and I felt challenged and alive. Happy. Congratulations, Sarah, on putting together such an inspirational writing program.”

The calls with mentors are stimulating and invariably bring up ideas/thoughts that inspire and create opportunities for continued exploration in terms of writing process and practice. ”

“This was my third return to the Story Intensive, this time as an aspiring novelist. I'd already learned so much from this school, and wanted to touch base with the lessons that had given me the confidence to begin writing in the first place. It did the trick: I'm excited to get back to the manuscript and tell this longer story.”
