What people are saying:
“I can’t say enough about Erin’s high energy workshops! One on one or with an audience of 50, Erin has a way of connecting with writers directly.” - J. Chautin
I started taking Erin’s writing workshops in 2019 and now I don’t miss a single one - they are THAT thorough & helpful! As a screenwriting grad student, I’m already accustomed to taking writing classes nonstop. But I find that Erin goes the extra mile in ensuring that she brings a different, super unique spin to the conventional writing ideas that are commonly discussed at most writing workshops.
The topics that Erin offers are extraordinarily fresh and contemporary. I take hundreds of writing classes a year and Erin doesn’t recycle the same, tired writing topics - she invents new ones! From “Write Your Own Gothic Horror Romance Novel” to “How to Write a Villain” to “How to Write An Awesome Reboot or Remake” to “Mastering Genre Fiction” or “Shakespeare Made Easy”, I simply can’t get enough of Erin’s tips, tricks, and insights.
The level of detail that Erin provides is simply unparalleled by any other lecturer I’ve heard. The copious amounts of research that Erin puts into preparing for her classes is evident from the supremely high quality of the workshops.
But it’s not just Erin lecturing. She makes the classes so interactive and gives even the shyest people opportunities to voice their thoughts in such a safe, friendly, welcoming environment that facilitates deep discussions.
Not only does Erin give you tools to structure your own writing projects, but her own presentations are structured so skillfully and seamlessly that by example, she gives you the roadmap to be successful in your own writing endeavors.
As a cool bonus for nerds such as myself who just can’t get enough of Erin’s expertise, she also makes it a point to provide “homework” with writing exercises so you can continue developing your projects. I also love her “fun packs” and curated playlists with supplemental video/music clips that accompany many of her sessions.
Erin’s warm spirit and dedication to excellence in everything she does inspires me nonstop to think, learn, grow, and most importantly, write!
