What Past Participants Say About WWIG



"I absolutely loved Natalie’s workshop. You could tell she was leading with intention and genuine concern for our creative experience. She met with me one-on-one twice and gave me great advice for my larger project. Natalie brought passion to the workshop and made sure all of us received the guidance we needed."

"Deeply satisfying! The workshop was, for me, the perfect mix of structured class sessions and big chunks of free time for writing. Natalie was the ideal workshop instructor: perceptive, encouraging, full of very specific and individually-attuned ideas and suggestions for developing and shaping our pieces. She had excellent reading suggestions and writing prompts at the ready but was also very flexible in allowing each writer to do what she needed. We were lucky to have a cohort of serious, thoughtful writers who established trust quickly and went deep. I arrived with specific project goals and was thrilled to meet them."


"Joanna Eleftheriou’s Greek language and culture class adds so much value: she’s remarkably patient, good-natured, and creative in her methods, juggling students from the very beginning to the struggling-to-get-better intermediate levels. I loved her instruction in music and dancing, and really appreciated Erika Voelzer’s contributions on history and culture."
