I just finished Merridawn Duckler's short story class, and I want to tell you something you probably know--she's a fantastic instructor. I teach homeless and transitional youth and know how difficult it can be to keep everyone on the same page (so to speak) and engaged and feeling inspired about their own work. Merridawn achieved this seemingly effortlessly. The structure of the class allowed everyone to grow as a writer no matter where they started from. I would definitely take this class again and recommend it to other.
