Writing Workshops Detroit

Kelsey is a great teacher! Her class exercises are on topic, interesting, and helped me improve my process. Her feedback is in depth and class conversations were always captivating. Plus you can immediately tell she's a genuine person who cares about what she does. I recommend her class to anyone who wants to improve their writing. I'll be taking another class with her soon!

I've taken the eight-week workshop and the one-day setting seminar with TM De Vos and Kelsey Ronan. Both were excellent workshop instructors. I enjoyed the small, focused setting to hone my craft and support other writers. One tip - leave yourself some time to find parking before each session; it can get crowded near Bamboo Detroit.

I went into the Mixed Levels Fiction Workshop without a lot of fiction experience. Others in the workshop had more. The experience was still thoroughly positive. Our group moderator, T.M. De Vos, is an educator not only by trade but by nature. She led discussions about the writing we submitted and the outside reading she selected, blending each element of discussion into a productive whole. She had us do the bulk of analysis and guided us along the way to ensure each discussion was time well-spent. I learned a lot about my own writing style and tendencies. The group commentary focused my writing and improved my self-editing ability. I will do the workshop again with T.M. and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve focus, get critical, constructive, and supportive feedback, and to immerse themselves in a study of the writing craft.

I recently took the 8-week Intro to Memoir workshop with Kelsey Ronan. My experience was productive, instructive and wholly worthwhile. Kelsey was interested, engaged and clearly prepared for every session. She provided reading assignments, in-class writing prompts and two workshop sessions for each student, along with written critique. The critiques were insightful and thorough. I highly recommend Kelsey and encourage anyone seeking guidance and inspiration to take a class!
