"I was struggling with feeling that my manuscript, Going Wild: A Summer of Foraging by Kayak Through Southeast Alaska, needed a major revision. I found myself moving sentences, words, and commas around, but I lacked the impetus to seriously shake things up. A six-week revision class with Ruth Underhill through Tongass Mist Writing turned out to be the perfect solution. With Ruth, I found advice, camaraderie, and the confidence I needed to make big changes. In the end, it felt like having an energizing literary conversation with new friends every Sunday."

Thank You!

Ruth has hosted/ taught several writing workshop through zoom and in person that I have attended. She is personable and makes sure everyone has a good understanding when we are writing in our workshops. There have been times when I didn't quite understand the co-host/ author of the workshop, but thankfully Ruth broke the information down for me in a way I could comprehend. This allowed me to feel confident in classes and truly engage with what the author was saying. Which was encouraging for me. I personally like Ruth as human and cherish the times we get to exchange in our writing. She’s encouraging and attentive to each of the people she meets in her workshops- and kind. I would highly recommend her as a tutor too!
