Testimonials

I loved this class. Not only did I learn how to write better, I learned about different types of writing jobs and things to consider in a writing career. I had no idea I could learn so much in a week!

Astrid, sophomore, San Francisco

This class was so fun and very informative! Our teacher did a great job of presenting the information in a way that is both engaging and inspiring. This class has definitely gotten me more interested in blogs, articles, and the many roles that go into writing.

Olivia, freshman, San Francisco

I love how I could create my own blog to share all of my thoughts and ideas with the world. It was so fun and now I am way more interested in internet writing.

Eloise, 8th grade, San Francisco
