“I was fortunate enough to have a 6-month museum show that featured several of my mechanical kinetic sculptures. The museum curator requested that a storybook be developed to tie together all of the artwork. After several attempts, I realized that I required help with grammar and developing continuity and flow of the story. Anne listened to what the project was trying to do and what challenges I was having. Her grammatical precision and creative suggestions transformed a collection of 18 individual descriptions into a fun and interesting story. I still use the book today as a catalogue to sell my sculptures to clients.”

“In evaluating Anne’s work as Contest Manager, I quickly noticed that she had a keen eye for dissecting and polishing stories, so I promoted her to Fiction Editor where she copyedits, line edits, and performs substantive editing in a professional critique. Writers have written thank you letters expressing the value of Anne’s instruction: ‘Extremely helpful and useable advice.’ ‘Another world opened up to me because of this critique. I know on the rewrite my work will be much stronger because of her instruction.’

“Anne is a writer with her finger on the pulse of the writing and publishing industry. She is the most innovative blogger and not only reports on industry news and technology but also teaches other writers about writing processes, theorization, narrative learning, and more. As a voracious reader, she is always challenging other writers to flex their reading and writing muscles by entering online competitions and attending professional events.”

“As an independent author, the decision to work with an editor on my novel wasn't taken lightly, but I'm so happy I did! I had worked with Anne previously through a short story contest, and her feedback on my story was so helpful I knew she would be the one I would contact for editing my first novel. Thanks to her insightful comments, my novel is richer and deeper than before. My characters are more vivid and my story is stronger. Anne's feedback helped me see parts of my novel in a new way that has enriched my story and has helped to make me a better writer. I would highly recommend working with Anne.”

Anne Greenawalt's creative writing class offered through the Pathways Institute was delightful! A great platform for starting or restarting to write creatively. The design of the class encouraged creative thinking through the use of cues, making it easier to get started and eliminate barriers. The collaborative nature of the class encouraged sharing of our progress.

Anne’s instruction in the classes I took with her on Creative Writing opened up creative writing for me. She showed how to give meat – or if you are a vegan, potatoes – to my characters, the setting, and the conflict.

The creative writing course taught by Anne Greenawalt was very enriching for aspiring writers. Participants learned how to develop characters, describe story setting, and use various types of conflict to steer our writing. I am hopeful that Dr. Greenawalt will return to teach similar coursework soon!

Dr. Greenawalt provided skilled direction in writing. Class is a long-lasting takeaway for my own work.
