Here's a little testimonial:
“I've been singing Elizabeth's praises all over town. Her attentive instruction helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses, and the exercises she gives are specially crafted to meet the needs that surface in each particular group of students. Her classes not only help you write, they transform how you think about writing. She doesn't let you wuss out of tackling the grisly, messy, hard stuff. The supportive environment, though never lacking in tactful ass-kicking, unbinds your creative mind and gets you out of the way of your writing.”

The people say more things like this over at the testimonials page:
"Elizabeth is a gifted teacher--even after many years of Ivy-enhanced graduate school, one of the best I've had. She has a profound understanding of practical craft and wild creativity, and how they combine to produce resonant work. Better still, she is unusually adept at translating her knowledge into insight and information that students can use to grow their skills-nothing is abstract. I'd been battling writer's block for a long time and Elizabeth's classes really unlocked my creativity--a combination of her thoughtfully structured writing exercises (you *write* in her classes!), and the atmosphere in her living room, which is really a magical safe haven for creativity and truly constructive exchange.”
