Ash Nicholson, attendee Write Doe Bay + Between the Page & the Planetary:

“Britt is one of those writing instructors who listens so genuinely to you, and really takes in your work, and then offers - and listen, I mean this - some of the best critique and advice you have ever received.

I have never met another person who is so good at facilitating improvement in a person's work - at encouraging constructive conversation, at understanding what writers are getting at before they do. I have been so lucky to work with them, and to know them.”
