Winter Critique Workshop

on Zoom

This is a private critique class beginning after Thanksgiving, offered for former students or intermediate writers. Details TBA.

“The best [writing class] I have ever taken. If I had taken it before I went to med school, I may have become a writer instead of a pediatrician.”

“I was so elated when the essay I wrote in Barbara’s class was accepted by Good Housekeeping.”

“Everything you are teaching us is embodied in the pages of your memoir. I am so blessed and honored to be your student.”

“The class was both energizing and motivating.”

“I am a different person because of this class.”

“Barbara always has a million good ideas, and her classes and editing push me to rethink and revise.”
