Here’s what
the students said about the Winter 2012 class of The Writer’s Toolbox:
What did you like
best about the Writer’s Toolbox?
So much! Notes are
great. Examples from David’s own writing- great. I loved this course.
I liked that I learned
so much- each session added to what I needed to know to improve my writing. The
handouts are fabulous and David’s little tips are great.
The tools- gave me
things to think about as I write and edit.
What would you tell
prospective students about the class?
Absolutely take this
class. You’ll learn everything you need to know to become a better, more
readable, more sellable writer.
By all means take it.
David’s a great teacher. You’ll learn lots and the notes he hands out are
really helpful.
