Testimonials
...I appreciated very much Nancy Agabian’s guidance of the workshop. She created a supportive and yet critically honest writing environment that I never imagined possible.
-Antonius Wiriadjaja
Nancy is wonderful at getting her students to rethink and find new ways to approach their own histories. Rather than making me feel like I was revealing my private life, she easily engaged us in conversation around the issues and topics that arise from writing about our personal lives.
-Sima Cunningham
Nancy sparked my interest for writing creatively while staying true to myself…I highly recommend taking her workshops! You will leave with a fresh perspective and a love for what is already inside of you.
-Diana Rosario
Nancy was able to make me feel comfortable enough to write and to share my writings with the group. She did an amazing job of fostering a supportive environment where we could share unfinished work and new ideas with each other. She is a good listener and very aware of letting the students bring their own ideas into the workshop. It was a workshop where we all felt very much a part of the process, not just passive participants.
-Deena Patel
Participating in [Nancy’s workshop] gave me the sense of community I needed to find my voice as a writer. Our weekly meetings and writing assignments provided the structure I needed to become a more disciplined and reflective writer, while being able to give fellow writers the gift of honest feedback. Writing about cultural identity, immigration and my connection to my homeland enabled me to process the many experiences that have brought me to the place I am now. I feel more confident in my ability to write and I hope more classes like this are offered for Queens-based writers.
