"Jamie teaches with an effortless enthusiasm for learning and literature that I find infectious. Her knowledge and eye for prose make her one of the finest educators I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Her ideas and approaches to workshopping are at the same time relatable and insightful and facilitate an environment that is both fun and productive. The result is a workshopping experience that leaves the student with an immense sense of accomplishment and growth."

"When I think back on Jamie’s writing classes, I think of sunshine. Even on the most nerve-wracking workshopping days, the classes were fun and light; her excitement was absolutely contagious. She created a class that not only helped all of us become better writers, but fostered an environment where we could improve together. She led us through easy and difficult subjects, both in our writing and the events that inspired us to pick up a pen in the first place. I never had as much fun in a writing class as I did in Jamie’s, and I’d recommend it to anyone who dares to dream in ink."
