Genre Crafting Heartfelt Chicken Soup for the Soul Stories With Irene Roth

Irene was very responsive when I answered the questions she posted at the end of each lecture and offered further advice and encouragement in her feedback. Each of her lectures offered concrete tips for developing a consistent writing schedule, as well as how to avoid distractions and procrastination. She even shared her free ebook with us to further help beyond the workshop. I enjoyed her workshop very much!

Irene is an excellent instructor and her lessons are an extremely useful reference. Life and my day job has stunted my ability to write as much as I would hope but hopefully I can utilize the organizational skills and advice Irene Roth presents. I have done a number of classes with her and they are all well worth the time time and effort. Thank you.

Irene presents clear and helpful information for getting on track and staying there!

I enjoyed Irene's class on how to work full time and write. It has gotten me back on track by having a lot of helpful, realistic advice and techniques. She was attentive to our homework threads and answered questions when asked. I would take another of her classes in the future. Thank you!

I have taken other courses with Irene Roth and enjoyed them. While Irene's notes were helpful, it was unclear to me (and at least one other registrant) why she conflated Young Adult fiction-writing concepts with middle-grade fiction-writing concepts. The course title reads "Middle Grade."

This class was very positive and inspiring to keep pushing me forward. The instructor offered great encouragement and advice for staying on track and being mindful of goals. Very beneficial for writers at any stage of their career.

The information that was presented throughout the eight lesssons was informative and helpful. I was, however, disappointed in the lack of feedback I got on the last two leesons. I also thought we would be writing more articles than what we were asked to do as homework. I'm not sure where the disconnect was.

I think the instructor/author was very knowledgeable and the materials and information was worthwhile. However, the participation part of it was frustrating for me. There was significant help at the beginning to get me logged on properly, and I appreciated that. However, as the class got several weeks in, I found it challenging (for me, that means impossible because I gave up) to figure out where to submit my responses correctly, and where to see feedback. So I did not complete the course. I did download the syllabus, so I have that for reference. I will not be signing up for future classes if they will be in this format.

I love taking Irene's classes. She gives great information and wonderful feedback. I also love that her classes are geared toward starting or completing a project.

I especially enjoyed this class because she made writing short stories accessible
for any type of writer, including a newbie like me.

I'm looking forward to seeing what other class Irene offers =)

So helpful! I learned so much on how to improve my short stories. Getting feedback on how to improve my story is great!

Ms. Roth's lectures were extremely informative and very helpful. They will definitely be utilized in my writing. I was disappointed there wasn't a lot of feedback, but maybe I misunderstood the premise. All in all Ms. Roth was very nice and her lectures were wonderful abd helpful.

Irene is an amazing teacher. She not only gives you very important information but also gives great feedback. I love that she is there to guide and help her students.

This class provided some great information on writing for the travel industry. I've enjoyed taking this class from Irene.

Easy-to-follow lessons on how to generate article ideas and get started writing in the travel industry. Irene is incredibly helpful and supportive.

Practical advice on expanding the means of writing for pay by writing for/about the Travel Industry.

Ms. Roth shared actionable tips that addressed everything from procrastination to progress. She also quickly answered questions. Thanks for offering this class!

I very much enjoyed this class and could see that the lesson plans were thoughtfully and carefully planned out.

I needed to read that to get back to focusing on writing every day instead of making it second/third/fourth priority.

Even though I couldn’t do the main homework and submit, the content has given me real tools to take my idea forward. Irene was both teacher and cheer squad for my idea...making me feel like it had substance and - done right - might see me published. I would love to have her as a mentor.

The class stalled after the first week because of Savvy technology issues. I would not do another class until Savvy takes a serious look at the problems.
Irene is a great tutor, but the system she's working with let her and her students down big time! Very disappointing for all concerned.
