    I loved this class and was so sorry to see it end! At first I thought the 3 hours would drag but Matt kept the class energetic and the booth sessions were incredibly helpful! We’re continuing to meet after the class is done and to me that’s a sign that Matt successfully instructed and invigorated the group!

    This was a really fun and motivating class. It is a good entry-level course covering fundamentals of the craft of writing, specifically tailored to consider age-appropriateness. The lectures are informative, and in addition to weekly exercises to submit to the instructor, everyone in the class gets a couple changes to submit a more significant piece of their original work (e.g. a full picture book script, or a couple chapters of a middle grade book) to get workshopped by the rest of the class. I strongly recommend to anyone interested in writing for kids, and I plan on taking Level II when it opens up!
