🧐 Curious about @odysseyworkshop.bsky.social? Check out my graduate interview:

Due to time limitation, in my acceptance speech I had to only thank people who had physically touched the drafts of the story & my dissertation. So my biggest regret was to not have a line there dedicated to Jeanne Cavelos & the Odyssey workshop, who taught me everything I know about writing! 💜

I learned so much at @odysseyworkshop.bsky.social that I’m not even surprised by this. #writing

You'll never get better critiques than the ones you'll get from Jeanne during YPO. The first fiction piece I sold as a writer this year is the first thing I wrote after finishing Odyssey last year, and the experience has made me so much more confident as a writer! I can't recommend it highly enough!

I seriously can believe how much I learned at Odyssey. It was lightbulb moment after lightbulb moment. My writing leveled up ever week!
