Testimonial:

Mariah’s workshops and teaching have been invaluable, both to my skills as a poet and my ability to constructively offer and receive feedback. We covered a breadth of subjects, from themes to linguistic techniques, tight form to free verse, all of which Mariah handled with creativity and a meticulous understanding of the craft. She is a perceptive and enthusiastic teacher, and her love of poetry is infectious. Some teachers leave a lifelong impression on your work, Mariah certainly has.

Testimonial:

Mariah Whelan and I recently hosted a Zoom quiz for Writers in Oxford. I set and asked the questions and Mariah handled everything else, not just the tech side but the introduction and the links. It all ran very smoothly, thanks to Mariah’s expertise and warmth. And she made it look effortless.
