Mary Leonard has been teaching in the summer Young Writers Workshop at Bard College at Simon's Rock since 1999. In that time she has proven herself to be an imaginative and inspiring workshop leader, a writer adept in multiple genres, and a wonderful colleague. Like the other workshop leaders, I've learned a great deal from her, both about writing and about what is involved in helping young people discover their own language and voices. The workshop wouldn't be the same without her.Jamie Hutchinson, Director Young Writers Workshop Bard College at Simon's Rock The three weeks I spent at Simon's Rock were the best of my life. Under the fantastic instruction of Mary Leonard, I experimented with every style of writing until I found my own, wrote alongside dozens of incredible writers, and learned more about my writing, and ultimately, myself, than I ever thought possible.Rachel Simon—Simon’s Rock 2010 |
