" This has been a most instructive course. Anna is an amazing teacher and helped my writing to improve substantially in just six weeks. Thank you Anna"
Barrie T. October 2025 Workshop
"The Creative Nonfiction course with Anna Purves helped me shift from years of professional writing to personal storytelling. Through sensory-based prompts, I began unearthing memories waiting to be acknowledged. The poetry and short readings deepened my understanding of voice, structure, and dialogue. I left class feeling inspired to find the courage to share what I need to say. "
