For our 11th episode, we wanted to celebrate our 11th anniversary by interviewing our incredible teachers, Melissa Quiter and Gretchen Cion, in conversation with our founder, Elizabeth Perlman.

First we talk about what drew us to this work and why we love it. Then we talk about what we get to observe and experience in each of our young writers, the fostering of creativity, confidence and community that happens every single week. We talk about creative risk-taking, exploration and discovery, and being buoyed up by the experience, how our writers tell us this work is "better than therapy" and how they learn to love themselves and believe in themselves, and then carry that confidence out into the world, into everything they do. Most importantly, you will hear three dedicated, passionate teachers talk about their love and dedication to their students—and "the magic" that makes it all possible.
