“Briana was an excellent mentor. Her emotional intelligence allowed our group to thrive and her supportive nature enabled us to trust the process and open up, which enriched the experience. I would do it all again. Writing is about much more than moving a pen, Briana understood that well...I was not sure exactly how to improve my work before PocketMFA. I felt as though I was minimally effective in my growth as a writer. I knew the value of reading extensively and reading well but that was the only tool I used. I did not have a specific list of areas to improve or ideas for approaching the task. I do now, and that is all thanks to the incredible mentorship and support I received throughout the program. In addition to the areas that need to be expanded upon in my work, there are tools I can use to do so and I am experimenting with the overall form of my work, from the high level. I think it was the excellence of the mentorship that gave rise to the amazing community we have.”
