WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT TEX’S CLASSES
- “Some really great food for thought about things I think a lot of writers take for granted: sentence structure, and how to really get to ‘less is more.'”
- “I too often just draft with the hope to make great sentences immediately, and end up putting too much pressure on myself. This class reminded me to see the sentence/paragraph structuring as a process that comes later down the line. I’ve already experienced a change in my writing!”
- “Tex’s vibrant personality really sells the class, definitely never boring.”
