Roohi provided exactly the kind of high-concept fundamentals that I needed to give my work structure and direction. She gave me the tools to be able to be able to think deeply and critically about my own work. As a result I am able to apply far greater critical rigor to my work. I now have the tools to make sure that my writing is working as hard as it can in pursuit of my story's development, my characters' development and the book's eventual resolution.

I came to Roohi with a collection of short stories that didn’t feel finished. This collection was weighing on my heart because I wanted to tell these stories on a way that would be effective, powerful and reach my target audience. After several months of working with Roohi, I have finally found my voice. She’s so good at targeting the points in my writing that need work and providing concrete solutions.

What's New
Are you determined to start or finish your novel in 2017 but feeling overwhelmed? This six-week in-person course in New York City will help you shake off last year’s writing doldrums by diving deep into reading two published novels with an eye to the craft questions that might be plaguing your own work. With in-depth discussions, focused assignments and in the company of a small, dedicated group, you’ll see how your favorite writers construct narrative and learn how to apply their methods to your own work.
Two of my stories were selected as Notable by Best American Short Stories 2016, and an essay by Best American Essays 2016!
