Leesa Dean’s creative writing course was dynamic and motivating on many levels. Leesa was well organized and dedicated to establishing rapport and connection to the students in our class, who came from very diverse ages and backgrounds.
I was very impressed with how she presented us with a wide range of interesting readings, technical pointers, and contemporary communications tools which expanded my range of skills and awareness in many new and stimulating directions.
The supportive, insightful feedback she gave my work was very encouraging and I am sure contributed to the current success I am experiencing with my literary submissions to competitions and publishers. I highly recommend Leesa’s creative writing course at Selkirk College to writers at all levels of their development, looking for inspiration and support in the ongoing challenge of learning to be an innovative, thought-provoking, and effective writer.
