What Writers are saying..
Traci applies attention to all aspects of writing–narrative structures, voice, placement and genre. Her intuition–leaning into a weakness or questioning an assumption – springs from a grounded, earned wisdom. I trust Traci Skuce.

Through Traci’s “step by step” process of writing a story, the in-depth valuable weekly readings, the micro—feedback on written pieces, and the fountain of inspiration she personally emanates, her courses are a must for any serious writer.

Traci’s course helped me to find comfort: in claiming my writer’s voice, in the encouragement & support of kindred spirits & in learning new ways of reading any piece of writing. It has truly changed how I view my project. This beautifully curated & crafted offering was a joy to participate in.

I loved every minute of my course with Traci. She’s knowledgeable and competent, and she listens well. She quickly understood where I was with my writing, was very kind with her critiques and suggestions to guide me to improve, and generous with her support. I found the course comprehensive and fun!

Traci is a seasoned writer and teacher who brings both warmth and rigor to her teaching. In her class I learned how to get inside my own work & understand it better. I had dozens of pieces of writing that defied my attempts to tame them & Traci’s class helped me figure them out.

Traci’s class gave me the boost I needed to get my memoir headed in the right direction. The hands on exercises and feedback in a supportive community of like-minded writers make her class stand out above others. When you’re ready to invest in yourself and your writing skills, I highly recommend Traci’s class!

Studying with Traci Skuce has helped me to establish a daily writing practice, widened my understanding of the writing craft & taken me to a place of joyful revision. Her teachings encourage embodied writing, getting to the deep root of what the stories we are telling are really about & how to read with an eye for learning masterful techniques. My work with Traci has been deep & full of discovery & I’m grateful for her curiosity and wisdom.

I got so much out of it: knowledge of craft that I continue to rely on to hone my skills, accountability, an appreciation for and ability to read deeply, a community of like-minded folks with similar aspirations, and also confidence to make writing a priority in my daily life. This course is heads and shoulders above the rest. Thank you for all of your thoughtful work getting this course out into the world!

Traci’s literary approach has helped me further understand the link between reading and writing, and her emphasis on daily practice and writing by hand on paper have helped me establish my own writing rituals in my writing life. Studying writing with Traci has both improved my confidence in my own writing, and given me the tools I needed to create better work.

Traci Skuce gave me more than I anticipated! My energy for writing had dissipated and somehow this program rejuvenated my creativity and passion to write. Yes I gained greater technical understanding of craft. But most importantly, the ineffable love of story now pervades my waking moments and I am back to WANTING to write daily! Thank-you Traci.

Before Traci’s class I was blind to holes in my story, I was blind to spotting opportunities where I could enhance the story. Traci gently pointed out what to look for, what was missing, what was already there and how to make it better. Traci’s class equipped me with the tools of the craft, techniques, and new found knowledge to shape and polish my stories and bring them to life. Now when I reread my stories, I see them from a new perspective, one of a highly skilled writer. I highly recommend Traci’s course. It is chock full of value.

Traci's lessons, readings, and weekly Zoom calls taught me accountability to her, to myself, to my story. Her gentle probing questions, the multiple workshops with other writers and a lovely healing professional. Her calm approach and ongoing encouragement to slow down, listen to my body and the story it has to tell brought balance. It intersected well with the layers of lessons, how to’s of the writing journey, and weekly encouragement from others in the course. All things that helped me pause, sift through the many words and short sequences of story I wrote the past year or two, find ones I wanted to share and learn why or how they rose to the top, willing to be shared.

Traci is a gifted instructor and guide. The course was well organized and covered the basics of craft, but in ways that were both personal to us students and true to Traci's style, not a repetition of the usual writing formulas and advice. She is a meticulous reader using technique and empathy to dig deep and teach us how to do the same. I loved every minute and did not want it to end. Exactly what I needed to move my book deeper and truer to my authentic voice. Thank you, Traci

Traci not only gave me the tools I always wanted to bring my writing to the next level but many I never knew I needed, such as an understanding of my own process of writing and how to harness it to finish pieces I start. Traci has built an inspired pedagogy of online coursework – insightful instruction, carefully curated
readings, powerful writing exercises, and opportunities to share works in progress and receive feedback – to take writers from conception to finished work, hurdling the obstacles we all face when working on a piece by finding our voices and developing strategies to keep producing and revising our work until it shines. I learned so much! Thank you, Traci.

Traci showed us how to excavate the hearts of our stories and put them on display. This course is a deep dive into craft that will elevate your writing.

I have been writing my memoir for over 15 years and felt buried in thousands of words that left me feeling lost, unmotivated, and disheartened. I found hope in Traci’s course, and I am a changed writer. I understand many new elements about writing and learned the art of shaping vivid landscapes and enticing the reader with tension. I possess a new understanding about point of view, vertical vs. horizontal time, and much more! My memoir is waiting to be born and I am assured that my profound knowledge will bring about its extraordinary birth.

Traci's course motivated me to pull my manuscript out of the drawer, blow the dust off and get busy on revision. Her assessment and comments about my work (and the work of others) was always on point and to the point without being prescriptive. Her feedback allowed me to strengthen my writing and craft and move forward. I trusted her and she trusted me too—so much—that I’m enrolled in her ten month mentorship program. I’d been looking for a way “back in” to writing practice and Traci’s course/teaching was the perfect re-entry. She’s very generous with her students and I’m so happy to continuing to work with her.
