Testimonials

“I am so grateful for what was the best online writing class I have ever taken, both in format and substance....You run a great classroom, and I got so much out of all your materials. I will definitely be recommending your class." -Jennifer Carr, Once Upon a Time: Fairy Tale Writing student

“I would take this class again in a heart beat.”- Fiction workshop participant

“Outstanding! This is one of the best classes I’ve taken at Richard Hugo House.” -Writing with Visual Art student

“After learning so much in Anca’s fiction class, I knew she would be a great mentor for my novel manuscript. Her detailed comments were excellent and designed to help me help myself, rather than just proposing edits or off-the-shelf craft solutions. She took the time to really understand the world of the novel and what I am trying to achieve, and proposed ways of thinking about problems that have empowered and energized me to take the draft to the next level. Wonderful experience!” -David Roberts

“I really enjoyed your class. It’s the most helpful one I’ve taken to date, and in large part because of the time you take for individual feedback. I also thought the story selection for readings was spot-on, and the exercises were fun and generative. I have a few new stories from those exercises that I’m excited to delve into further.” -Melissa Slager, Intro to Fiction: Writing the Short Story student

“Anca did an excellent job curating tools for our class and for me as well. One of the best classes I’ve ever taken and I have a master’s degree….I would take any class taught by Anca and have already recommended her to other Hugo House authors.” -Fiction II online participant

“Anca is incredibly knowledgeable and kind in her critiques. I learned a lot just reviewing stories with her and the class. This has directly affected my own writing.” -Writing with Visual Art student
