“Edan is an incredibly helpful and insightful writing teacher. She provides practical, concrete advice that you can apply right away to improve your writing. At the same time, she’s encouraging and engages each piece of work on its own terms — in other words, she helps you write the story you want to write, whatever that may be. Her workshops are fun, supportive and incredibly helpful — they’re the best writing classes I’ve ever taken!”
