“Terri is a warm and nurturing teacher, who simultaneously offers supportive and critical feedback. She fosters a safe and encouraging learning environment in which all the students feel seen and heard. The way she formatted our class encouraged me to write more than I have in years, as I was consistently inspired by the assigned reading and her prompts, as well as the work of my peers.”

Megan C. says:

“What a season together. You skillfully create safety and open channels to understand grief with flowing words. The steady truthfulness and warm acceptance I feel in your writing is mirrored in your classes. Thank you for bringing us into the heart and finding the pathways into writing from that place.”

Susan S. says:

As an older woman, who is blind, I had some trepidation about taking this class. I use dictation to write and it is sometimes incredibly awkward. Terri made me feel comfortable and inspired the confidence I needed to proceed with my writing. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wishes to publish or simply wishes to express themselves in essay form.

“This class was incredibly helpful and Terri Linton is a fantastic, dynamic, and uniquely skilled instructor. I am grateful for how she provided broad instruction around both the craft and the industry while also somehow tailoring it to each member’s unique disciplinary/interest area. She also gave us a wealth of invaluable resources for moving forward. Most of all, I appreciated how she managed to convey skill, care, and warmth all at once. She’s truly a uniquely gifted instructor and I will definitely take a course with her again.”

Anne L. says:

“Terri is a wonderful teacher and mentor. Her prompts are juicy and provocative; her feedback is insightful and encouraging. She created an incredibly warm esprit and left everyone wanting more. I look forward to taking additional classes with Terri.”

Heather Harpham, author of Happiness: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After says:

“Terri Linton sees to the heart of motherhood with the same searing writer’s gaze she turns on every human experience, bringing depth of insight, precision of observation and utter compassion to our most painful and joyful moments. As a teacher, Terri will lead students towards their personal version of what she does so well—finding truth through distilled imagery, poetic allusion and musicality on the page. I have every confidence students lucky enough to study with Terri will walk away enriched and inspired.”
