“I was new to writing fiction, a little anxious around the edges about trying it at all. Elizabeth’s writing class “Lying on Purpose” guided our small group of writers into the world of fiction with her careful reading of our work, her guidance and always clear and thoughtful suggestions… I would absolutely sign up for it again.”
— Mary Jo M.
