Coolest dang website on writing ever!

A website I turn to when my left brain starts blocking my right brain. I’ve found that Meredith’s interviews will have some insight that gets my creativity flowing.

Meredith,
Do you offer classes? My good friend, Kim Hooper, gave me the heads up about you and suggested I look in your direction regarding creative writing courses. I just signed up for Amy Paturel’s essay course but would like to get as much experience as I can.

Thanks so much,
Lauren
