Regarding Writing Workshops
"Thank you, Nina. You are a very generous, caring teacher whose own ego doesn't interfere with instruction. Just delightful! It was great to learn from an obvious master of this craft. "
Marcia Hardy, Fund Development Consultant
"Nina created a safe place for us to come together, share, and get helpful feedback from others, some of whom are already respected for their work. I liked that there was no pecking order. I felt welcome and equal, and
because of that, I will continue to do my work, joyfully uncovering surprises."
Diane Goyette, Theatre Artist and Educator
"Nina skillfully guided us through a process, which indeed allowed for discovery. The classes were always creative, informative, challenging, and affirming with an openness that allowed for magic and synchronicity to abound!"
Marlie Avant, Artist and Writer
"Absolutely everything in the class worked for me. Nina was able to quickly establish and maintain a class that was not only filled with incredible exercises and homework (I particularly liked the One Syllable Monologue, the Character Diamond, the Heightened Language Monologue and the Creative Space cards). In addition, as a group, trust was established immediately, and I felt that everyone's creativity blossomed. Many were able to refine what they were working on and have clear ideas and motivation to complete their work."
Kim Taylor, Author, Bowery Girl
"I thought I was too shy to write, but suddenly my pen took flight, and I was scribbling lots of stuff that no one did rebuff (it wasn't tough!), and everyone had lots of fun!"
