Meg Pokrass’ Teaching/Mentoring Testimonials - 2023

”Meg is amazing. She helped me tremendously with editing and arranging “Dressed all wrong for this” and in fact came up with the title.” -Francine Witte, Author

”Meg has recently been mentoring and supporting me with a manuscript of stories. I can't recommend her highly enough. Her astute observations, suggestions and edits have, in my opinion, transformed the whole collection. Her enthusiasm and encouragement have also really helped my confidence as a writer and I'm excited to soon submit the finished collection. Great value in every sense.” -Jane Salmons, Author 

“Taking Meg's workshops and teaching ekphrastic workshops together has given me a window into her amazing imagination and improved my own writing immeasurably. She is a dynamite storyteller, but also has a very special gift for helping to shape a story. It is incredible how she will pull out the heart of the story and help a writer rearrange or finish it. Meg can help you bring your stories to life in a magical way.” -Lorette C. Luzajic, Founder of the Ekphrastic Review

”Meg’s workshops are incredible. She is so generous to the writing community. Her feedback is thoughtful and intuitive and I always come away feeling inspired. She is a true creative force! My writing has grown so much because of her.” -Karen Crawford, Author

“I would not be writing flash without Meg Pokrass. I found my voice in flash. I didn't even understand what that meant -- finding your voice -- until, suddenly, I realized I had done it. It was because of the community Meg built, the encouragement she offered, and, maybe more than anything, explaining to me what worked when it worked -- why this story was better than that one. I've said I would not be writing flash without Meg and that's true. I might not even be writing at all. The encouragement and finding my feet with her help came at a critical time for me.” -Epiphany Ferrell, Author.

”What strikes me most about Meg’s support is how warm and encouraging she is, from the very first moments of reading your work. Details and feedback are so precise, and shared very thoughtfully.” -Kalliopy Paleos
