MINDY LEWIS: Writer / Editor / Teacher

"Mindy Lewis is an exceptional writing teacher—astute in her criticism, wise in her judgment, and uncommonly generous in the encouragement and support she gives every student in her classes. Even though I've been a professional editor all my adult life, I'd done very little writing of my own before I began attending her classes. Mindy emboldened me to spread my writing wings and to explore my own life experience. I've learned so much from her, and I've also benefited enormously from the wonderful writing selections that she hands out in class. I'd recommend Mindy's classes to anyone—novice or pro—who wants to expand their creativity and sharpen their skills in a nurturing environment."
- Jo Ann Miller, editor

"Thank you for a wonderful class. You are an extremely gifted teacher. You have such a terrific balance of encouragement and much needed criticism, it's no wonder people keep coming back to your class time and time again."
- Judith Green-Berg, psychologist, writer

"I cannot THANK YOU enough for your time. I am so glad that I enlisted your expert counsel—you have clearly found your calling—and I am absolutely fired up about making the additional improvements we discussed."
- Suzanne Gannon, journalist

"Thank you for guiding my work to places I might not have explored on my own. Your compassionate,
thoughtful and sensitive reading is always remarkable and thought-provoking. The lively and engaging
atmosphere of your classes bubbles over with shared ideas and the love of writing, and reflects
the steering hand of a supportive and truly gifted teacher. That's why I keep coming back for more."
- Pamela T., lawyer, museum/​auction house professional, writer

"I already knew how to write for academic journals and policy audiences. But in Mindy's class, I learned a different kind of writing—scene, dialogue, gesture, inner response and more. My writing is far richer now."
- Dahlia Remler, Professor of Public Affairs

"I want to thank you for your detailed, thoughtful caring edits. I am learning a great deal from you (and the class) and my narratives help me to clarify my past and fill gaps in my history."
- C.A. Loew, psychotherapist, editor, writer

"I really loved the class. I'm so glad I took it. I don't know how to end this cause I don't think this is an end…"
- Fran McN., journalist
