What is the 'Attic experience'?

"Merridawn Duckler's patient, insightful teaching style helped me shape a raw manuscript for my novel, Broken Piano for President, into a smarter, funnier, better book that went on to be an Amazon Bestseller. I still recite some choice words of advice she gave me whenever I get stuck. The Attic was crucial to my development. The supportive, yet critical workshop environment made me want to be not only a better writer, but a better reader each class. It's been over five years since my Attic experience, but not a day goes by that I don't ask myself if my classmates would approve of today's work. If not, I go back to the drawing board."

~ Patrick Wensink, author of Broken Piano for President
