Student Testimonials
“When I show my book-in-progress Turn it Upside Down to colleagues now, I'm proud that it speaks in my voice. I see how peoples’ eyes light up when they see the first paragraph, and I'm getting used to hearing how moved they are and how useful and clear my writing is. Thank you Kathrin! I had no idea I could write so well until you showed me how.”
— Mona Barbara

“Who is there to say if there is a Hemingway, a Colette, trapped inside your soul or just a place inside dying to emerge into the land of words. Kathrin Seitz’ class is the best soil for that garden. My time in her class has culled my experience and my emotions into a dialogue of poetic determination. The story is this: Kahtrin Seitz offers an all you can eat buffet for the soulful writer, so come join us, there’s plenty to go around. ”
— Pamela Serure

and
Heart Disease" (Random House 2006)
“I learned more from Kathrin and her techniques in just three classes than I learned throughout my university degree. In fact, it wasn't until I studied with Kathrin that I finally discovered my "authentic voice." Even more exciting, Kathrin's coaching allowed me to access depths of emotion and truth that were previously unavailable to me. And she manages all of this with an enthusiasm, engaging personality, and encouraging demeanor. Any aspiring writer or student would be most fortunate to have Kathrin Seitz as a teacher.”

community of writers is wonderful. Thank you so much for all you've done.”
