I just wanted to let you know that I have used this video for the last couple of weeks because I had to talk about short stories in my oral exam to gain my degree. And YES it worked! Thank you so much!

A great lecture that clarified and reinforced many of the tenets I learned in the Creative Nonfiction course I took as an undergraduate where I discovered the essays of E.B. White and the noted teacher/practitioner, Dinty W. Moore. Thank you!

Very good and helpful material.

This is wonderful. I want to write non fiction. Do you still make these videos? Is there a part 3?

What a wonderful teacher you are!!! Thank you so much!!!

Brilliant series!!!! Thank you!

The multiple projects way of breaking writer's block is really smart! I've never considered going to other chapters of a long project to unlock others. Very helpful!

Fabulous overview of the developments in the short story!
