Selected Testimonials

from students who have taken Barrie's community classes

• I got a great deal from the class. I consider it one of the best things I have ever done for myself as a writer. I will carry what I've learned forward with me.
• Thank you for the fine class-superb! I appreciate the ways in which you pushed me to the edge-and my writing shows it.
• The class was a very comfortable atmosphere in terms of exchanging comments and ideas. I liked the topics we discussed; they provided a helpful range of ideas.
• What a good class. You've given me a lot of things to think about-I'm always impressed with the pointed questions you raise in your comments about my work. The cattle prodder. Keeps me moving up the trail. Thanks.
• What I like best about Barrie is she's respectful, dedicated and has a sense of humor.
• I think you are a grand teacher, Barrie-good at moderating and getting lots of information across, encouraging, smart, quick, and you take it seriously.
