What students are saying . . .

“When I joined Sara’s Zoom class over two years ago, I thought it would be the typical teacher/student relationship of being told what do by the teacher. To my surprise Sara was very flexible, nonjudgmental, and encouraging, and she gave us the freedom to discuss our life stories with the other class members. Hearing others’ stories has helped me to remember so many things about my own life that I had forgotten.” — Kathleen Lenski, author of The Daughter of Vladimir Lenski: Memoir of a Child Prodigy Violinist

“Feedback is consumable fuel! Thanks to Sara‘s insights (and the insights of my online classmates), I have broadened the narrative scope of my memoir.” — Scott Taylor

“I've learned so much from both getting to hear the writing of others in the class and also from sharing my own pieces. Sara creates an inspiring and supportive "classroom" atmosphere that always promises and delivers.” — Madeline Nager

“The benefit I am getting from Sara’s class is motivation. As time goes by, everyday life that happened years ago seems fictional as compared to what is real today.” — Donna Mehlschau

“Two years ago, a dear friend encouraged me to join Sara’s online life story writing class. At first, I resisted, thinking, ‘Who would be interested in my story?’ As it turns out, I am interested in my story. With Sara’s guidance and innate talents, I am so enjoying the adventure of writing as a personal exploration of creativity and purpose. — Duchess Dale

“When my Grandson asked me to talk about my life as he shot a video of me, I could not think of anything to say about myself—my mind was blank, even though I had been living a long and very eventful, noteworthy life! I tried on my own to do this but did not even know how to start. When I learned of Sara’s classes I was first in line to sign up. I am now writing about myself, drawing from my own memories . I have the unofficial title of ‘Most Improved.’” — June French
