Leslie Berliant is a skilled, sensitive and gifted writing teacher, and a mentor with depth and insight. In her workshops, I’ve learned to let creative impulses flow, guided by technique and feedback. Leslie has a way of getting to the heart of the writer within her students, and guiding them confidently and pleasurably into their authentic voices. Since working with Leslie, I’ve developed a clearer, more potent voice in my personal and work-related, including an upcoming TED talk.

Leslie's classes are the best. She sets up a supportive atmosphere, so it is always a pleasure to be in class. She is able to gear her comments, and assignments, to what each individual in the group needs. I learn from the wisdom she imparts and from the readings and comments of others in the group. Much to my delight, my writing palette has expanded.

I didn’t feel safe in expressing my heart and Leslie helped me come out. Not only did she coach me through finding the words for the vision of my first film, she guided me to stepping into my power to own that I am a writer.

“Leslie’s retreat was a safe place for me to give voice to the true, painful experiences I was going through as a new widow, providing a healthy outlet for my pain. Thank you always, Leslie, for freeing me to write again, as I did when I was a child.
