Testimonials
“[I took away] “the value of each word; the importance of editing; the importance of sitting with the work; the importance of intentionality"
“I have learned a lot from Jamal's ability to focus on smaller details as a way of giving a poem/piece of writing the depth that it needs to not only communicate with a reader but also to linger with them.”
“I am less afraid of what the editing process might reveal, and I have a greater understanding of the effect I intend to achieve through my writing on the reader. Jamal is also incredibly culturally aware and sensitive, so he was able to provide a richness in his expertise that I have sadly found is missing from too many literary spaces.”
