This workshop was exactly what I was looking for and I learned so much from Barbara’s and the class’ feedback and discussion. I already know I am going to take the workshop with Barbara again and keep the writing going. I was able to see how other people who had taken multiple workshops with her were able to advance their work and I look forward to doing the same with mine.
Barbara has given me a skill set and a fresh perspective on how to approach writing and editing. She has an uncanny ability to spot the direction a character needs to take or how to make a beat hit, and her character advice is second to none. Her classes have given me the courage to work past failed drafts, and keep pushing that pen until I have something better on the page.
Barbara Josselsohn was an excellent workshop leader. Her insights into the work and how to potentially use those insights in your own writing, plus her skills providing feedback and bringing the best out from the group members, was exceptional.
Barbara was completely adaptive to the group's needs and style of learning. She would answer any questions we had about the process of writing and I just loved being there!
