This is my flagship course, a deep dive into craft, generative writing that produces writers’ strongest work, all grounded in a powerful, inspirational community. Limited to 12.

Comments from Craft Studio Students Spring 2024:

"You are a brilliant teacher, bordering on a certain special kind of genius, where you can take a raw clay of a thinker like me and help make me into a writer and finish one book and also three more, hopefully."

"I would often come to class feeling like I wasn't in the mood, or unsure if I would be able to think of anything to write, but it was always so great! I'm still not sure I understand how or why, but I would always come away feeling reinvigorated in my writing."

"Elizabeth - you are a gifted instructor. Your classes are magic for me!"

"I benefitted from each lesson. I learned, or was reminded of, a different aspect of craft each time. I also wrote each time, which was helpful, especially between projects. The positive feedback was extremely gratifying in times when I was doubting my writing abilities. It was a really supportive, talented group. I loved the "rules": no apologies, just write, and give specific honest praise. I also loved Elizabeth's insightful feedback on each piece of writing."

"I love your classes, Elizabeth. They are such a gift. Thank you."
