This letter offers my complete support of John Lerner as he applies for a teaching position. I’ve known
John for two years now, since he completed my course in Advanced Fiction Writing at Mythic University.
In this course, John wrote three pieces of short fiction for me, and I recall that in one of them in particular
his revisions after a group discussion of his work were substantial and well-focused. I also recall that John
was one of those few I could turn to when I needed to spark discussion; he was never lethargic,
uninterested, or unprepared, but always willingly thoughtful and articulate. He provided me with a
touchstone for what was best in the class.
