Terri creates such a positive and comfortable environment for writers. Her knowledge about the craft of memoir and her thoughtful feedback on everyone’s work helped me improve my writing. Terri facilitates excellent discussions between writers. I just had a piece published that was written in her class this past fall and I’m excited to take another workshop with her this spring!
I have every confidence students lucky enough to study with Terri Linton will walk away enriched and inspired. Terri sees to the heart of motherhood with the same searing writer’s gaze she turns on every human experience, bringing depth of insight, precision of observation and utter compassion to our most painful and joyful moments. As a teacher, Terri will lead students towards their personal version of what she does so well — finding truth through distilled imagery, poetic allusion and musicality on the page.
Terri's courses foster a lovely writing community and her prompts never fail to encourage me to generate work that transforms into complete essays I am proud to share with the world!
