“Ali Bryan is a passionate writer, teacher, and mentor whose focus on craft has enhanced my growth as a writer. In classes and consultations, she sees where my prose sings and where it wobbles, where it hits the mark or falls short. Specifically, Ali's feedback and suggestions emboldened my revisions on a short piece that made the long list for the 2023 Creative Nonfiction Collective’s writing contest. Working with Ali has improved my sense of structure, my understanding of character development, and my use of sensory details to elicit emotion from the reader. I have no doubt she can do the same for every writer. ”
