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.”
