TCL Survey
Hello! Thank you so much for clicking through. I'm working on building something for writers, and wanted your opinion.

After a decade+ of teaching for MFA programs, teaching workshops, and working with clients one-on-one, I keep thinking about how patchworky the opportunities out there feel. There are courses, there are conferences, there are communities. There's self-teaching through reading and writing, there are books and YouTubes and newsletters and retreats. It's all very a la carte. One can patch together something that works, and maybe that's preferable for some people. But it can also be haphazard and perhaps not all as valuable as one hopes.

I keep thinking that there's got to be a better way. And I think I might know what that could be and how it could be done. 

HOWEVER, I don't want to make something that no one wants! So I'm reaching out to friends, peers, former clients, students, and others who might be willing to describe where you feel the biggest gaps are.

You can do this anonymously, but if you do share your email at the end, I'd love to rope you into some beta testing down the line.

There are THREE SECTIONS. You'll have to click NEXT to move forward. The final question is about your email address, so you'll know you're done when you hit that!

If you think of anyone else in your writing world who might like to fill this out, please pass it on! The success of this will depend on it reaching beyond the people I already know and work with, so I appreciate any help at this stage of the game.
