"Kristin’s writing class was truly transformative! She is such a generous and talented guide for artists and writers wherever they are in their storytelling process. My growth in the course of her writing class was exponential - from coming in the first class feeling like I had no business being a writer, to the last class when I was in progress on two feature screenplays and a short film (which I directed and acted in afterwards!). She teaches and inspires on all levels: she gave incredibly insightful character, story, structure, and process notes, as well as helped me to expand - by 10 times - what I thought it was possible for me to do as an artist.”

This class gave me tools and confidence to access my inner creative child (filled with Divinely inspired ideas!) no matter where I am. As a woman of multi-ethnic background, I've felt a frustration that there isn't more diversity in casting. This class empowered me to share my unique writer's voice and do my part. We each have a responsibility as Storytellers to tell stories that are a mirror to the world, so that we can continue to learn & evolve together. Take the leap of faith and do this class. The world is waiting for your story to be told. Tell it. Like Robins Williams said ‘No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.”
Read More“I can only echo what my classmates have said about Kristin’s wonderful class. I had a story I wanted to turn into a feature length screenplay for probably 8 years, and was really stuck. I was procrastinating, didn’t trust myself, was reluctant to trust anyone with my very personal story. I found a safe space working with Kristin, and in her class. I learned to go deep and express myself on the page. The courage of my classmates was inspiring, and Kristin gently but firmly encouraged us to push ourselves and to be consistent, writing every day. The class created an accountability structure, which helped me to complete my first draft. I am now working on my second draft! I recommend this class to anyone that has a story they want to tell. I think Kristin attracts beautiful, creative people because she is one herself!!!”

The accountability we had for each other really me out in a project I've been struggling with for the last five years. I just finished my fourth draft and the tools Kristin has given me made that possible. I highly recommend this class.”
Read More“For the first time in my life, I saw a creative writing project through and finished my first draft! Kristin teaches with such love and enthusiasm, and endless faith in the value of what you want to create, and your ability to create it. Her tools are simple yet effective and most importantly, they got me to WRITE! I highly recommend her class to anyone who has a story brewing and isn't sure they can or should put it out into the world. The answer is yes and the how is Kristin!”

And 'Fulfilling your purpose, with meaning, is what gives you that electrifying juice and makes people stand in wonder at how you do it.' And I kept thinking, Kristin Hanggi and her extraordinary writing class gave me that juice! Over and over Kristin sees my magical mojo and gives me the courage and constant inspiration to find it within myself. I am profoundly grateful. If you have a calling to create, Kristin Hanggi is the ultimate soul nurturer! And she cultivates such a fun, playful, supportive environment. Our classmates rule! In fact, after years of dreaming about it, I completed my solo show! I highly recommend Kristin and her kick ass class.”

Her encouragement, advice, and knowledge literally catapulted my work to a whole new level. I wanted to write a multi-episode audio drama podcast, but I was having trouble getting started. If it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't have a 95 page FIRST SEASON. I'm currently working on my second season and then I'll be getting ready to do a read-through. My biggest hang-up was that I tried too hard to focus on "facts." I was losing my voice in the writing. Once Kristin drew that out of me (and trust me, she did!), I was unstoppable. I can say with confidence that this class is 110% worth it. The flexibility of being online meant that if I had to miss a class, I could watch the recorded class or if I needed a refresher on something that was discussed, I could go back and watch it. Plus, we all developed these amazing relationships which continue TO THIS DAY in our online group page. Knowing I have a whole group of people supporting my journey after the class is over makes it even better.”
Read More“While other writing classes focus on structure and formula, Kristin’s class gets you plugged into your intuition, liberating your creative spirit, the unique voice within you. The material I wrote for this class is some of the best work I’ve done to date. Kristin offers practical tools, as well, which are really useful. Accountability partners and lively readings of everyone’s pieces during class are icing on the top, inspiring and raising the bar each week. What can I say? Kristin’s class is amazing—I highly recommend it!”
