Comments About The Workshop From Former Students 

"You can talk to the counselors very easily. You're on a level with them because they're not that much older. They really care about how we feel and what we say." - Anonymous  

"The counselors are cool, caring, and nurturing individuals who are totally easy to talk to. They're just like older brothers and sisters." - Anonymous

"It was a really maturing experience for me to be exposed to different writers and to learn about them as people and writers." - Lesley Clark  

"They go out of their way for us." - Andy Lyons  

"The teachers know exactly how to explain anything...any question you have. They're excellent writers; they really know what they're talking about." -Anon  

"[Amy Lemley is] really good. She taught me a lot, and I've really enjoyed it. It's a different way to write, instead of the basic school style. I never knew how interesting Creative Non-Fiction could be." - Sarah Rood  

"Electives have been very educational, especially Dream-Weaving. I've learned a lot from them. They keep the mind occupied." - Paul Makarov
