What the Community is Saying

  • “ “I don’t feel the blocks I used to feel. There is so much memory and emotion stored in the body and breath. Sense Writing was a way to get really grounded in that, which helps me find a way into a character, myself, or into a scene.” ”
    — Donnaldson Brown
  • “ Once I experienced this flow, I understood what my friend meant when she said Sense Writing changed everything for her. ”
    — Iva Radivojevic, Filmmaker, Guggenheim Recipient
  • “ The Sense Writing workshops access a profundity that other writing workshops have rarely attained at this level. ”
    — Raluca Albu, Writer and Editor, Bomb Magazine
  • “ Okay, what's a less dramatic way of telling you that this class has changed my life? ”
    — Olga Kreimer, Journalist, Los Angeles Review of Books
