Olivet Jones – “This class has become the best part of my week.”

“This course is SO good, you are really making me reflect my inner emotions.”

I feel like I am a thread unpicked from the tangled ball of wool that is my knotted past. I am coming to question myself, whether I fit in to this line of strong women, or whether the warp and weft of my life is another. The more self-reflection I do according to the themes of the course, the more I can imagine a series of essays that ties in with this.

“Thank you for a wonderful writing class. You’re an inspirational and nurturing instructor!”

Lynne –

One of my biggest takeaways is that a story doesn’t need epic drama to be interesting. When I have thought about personal writing until now, I’ve struggled with “what’s the story?” You helped me see that the small stories matter, too.

“I was thrilled that two of my essays were accepted for publication in the same week!”

“I am a busy working mom who has had dreams of publishing my creative nonfiction for most of my adult life. Six months ago, I signed up for Lynne’s “Finding Your Voice At Midlife” course on a whim. Her class was well structured, informative, and inspired me to lean into my writing. I was so pleased with the course that I signed up for the second session. Following that, I signed up to work with Lynne in her Writer’s Community, an intimate group of writers who meet weekly to workshop one another’s writing. I worked extensively with Lynne on a few of my pieces, and was thrilled that two of my essays were accepted for publication in the same week! Lynne is a well informed coach who not only teaches her students about the mechanics of writing, but she also guides her students through the publishing process. Thank you, Lynne, for your patience, guidance and expertise! I am forever grateful for your help. ”

Cheers,
