"I have read several books about the writer's craft, but the excellence of the lectures written by the instructor for this course stood out for me: She somehow found fresh angles, used particularly apt examples, and provided trenchant advice for writing and revision."
-A. H., Veterinarian
"The instructor is very knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to the students. The lectures were thorough and instructive. I'll probably go back to them many times over the coming years."
