“The challenge for every writer is to draw her reader fully into the character's experience. Scenes are where the action of a story comes alive and invites the reader in. Scenes are where the story is lived.”
– Hester Kaplan, Author and Goat Hill writer

“Writing is like detective work: to reveal the story, you pull at the threads which will force the story to reveal itself. My goal as a teacher is to help you understand how to spot the clues.”

– Mark Fogarty, Writer and GrubStreet Instructor

“We turn to fiction to be transported, thrilled, immersed in the new and strange. Science Fiction and Fantasy takes us to these other worlds, and provides perspective on our own.”

– Amanda Kallis, Writer and School One Faculty

“We’re at a point in the world right now where we need empathy if we’re going to make any kind of progress. This is the best time for theater; it’s the antidote to apathy”.

– Ben Jovilet, Writer and GrubStreet Instructor

“I believe that openness and innovation are integral to teaching. This is certainly reflected in School One’s philosophy.”

– Victor Wildman, Frequency Writers and Creative Writing Instructor
