Diving deep into developmental edits is an intense fourteen lecture course for those writers who have finished at least one draft of a novel.

Since graduating she has taught everything from creative writing to academic writing at the university level as well as writing workshops on the lovely island of Cyprus, in Greece and in the USA.
