"My daughter loved learning to write with Rebecca... Rebecca inspired her to write award-winning fiction. Long after working with her, my daughter continues to write with great enthusiasm.

"Rebecca has amazing lingual intuition – she knows how words feel and sound, and this enables her to work with all kinds of writing, from short stories to poems to essays... When she makes a suggestion, she is not offended if you don’t agree. She listens and considers your perspective as the writer. She can give general ideas and overall feedback as well as specific analysis, so that the writer is free to use her ideas but interpret them and write them their own way... Rebecca is an awesome (for lack of a more specific word of praise) editor and writer, and an equally amazing person. The gift of working with her is a double bonus – her amazing skill as a writer and editor, and her warm, smiling, funny, happy, wonderful personality."

"The summer workshop was amazing! I learned so much about writing short stories, articles and poetry in just two weeks. It was wonderful having this experience and a great time all at once. I'd do it again for sure!"

"From the moment I stepped into the winter workshop, the environment was nothing but fun, creative, and friendly. We all immensely enjoyed reading one another’s pieces, and receiving the great feedback we got from Rebecca and each other. In just four days of two-hour sessions, (sometimes running a little late due to the fact that we were so engrossed and did not want to leave) I was able to hone my science fiction story into a much better state than the raw material that entered the workshop. Aside from that, I perfected a poem I had been working on, and was so enthusiastic about gaining constructive responses from my peers that I wrote a memoir from scratch to share in between sessions. I could see that the work of my friends had also significantly improved, some of it from suggestions I myself had offered. All in all, the writers workshop was a wonderful learning experience and a lot of fun, the whole time your mind abuzz with newfound creativity. I will definitely be coming back for another seminar if one is offered."
