Testimonials:
"I loved the Novel Generator course with Taylor Larsen. She is an extremely generous instructor who brought us all together, creating a community out of people located in different parts of the world. For an hour and a half each week, we transcended the boundaries of the physical world and bonded over our shared love of writing. As an editor, Taylor has the ability to find and bring out the best in each manuscript and I found her excitement and encouragement highly motivating. Her guidance and support after the end of the course have been invaluable to me." - Daniela Petrova, Novel Generator Spring '18, author of Her Daughter's Mother, completed in the Novel Generator
"Taylor not only made me a better writer but made me remember what it is I love about writing in the first place. Her enthusiasm bled into everything we discussed which made her critiques that much more effective in conveying how I could reshape or alter my work. The nuanced way she wove helpful suggestions into class helped me become a better reader as well a writer. I found that with Taylor’s help, I was better able to articulate what I wanted to achieve through my work. In addition I was better able to articulate my criticisms of others. Both of these were key in being better able to assess my own writing. Taylor’s suggestions always seemed to make my writing stronger and her encouragement helped give me a voice. I am now confident to continue in the writing process but also to pursue submitting my pieces for publication." - former client
"Taylor is the consummate teacher and guide through the unwieldy world of fiction writing. She is a great listener and always encouraging, but she is also very realistic about what works and what does not work in a story or a chapter. She made me appreciate my own writing voice, which is probably the most valuable belief a teacher can inspire within a writer." - former client
"Taylor Larsen is a fantastic teacher and mentor who believes in nurturing both craft and talent. Her feedback is always sharp, insightful, and deeply encouraging—consistently anchored in helping each writer stay true to their voice. She creates a space that feels both safe and challenging, where you’re pushed to grow but never lose sight of what makes your story yours." - Zelly Ruskin, author of Not Yours to Keep
