Leslie’s classes inspire writers at all stages—aspiring and seasoned writers find ongoing benefits from her approach—all that’s necessary is a desire to write creatively.
She has designed some very effective exercises to get the writing flowing, so there’s no room for blocks or excuses.
Leslie’s a poet and teacher of creative writing. In 2016 she won the Caselberg International Poetry Prize. She teaches what she loves and finds success with. Her Buddhist-based writing practice has been known to leave conventional writing for dead.
