"Natalie Meisner is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. She truly opened my eyes to my passion for creativity, and made me fall in love with writing. Her warm compassion not only prevails in her written work but through her relationships. The topics she speaks on and the messages she shares have impacted a community from many different walks of life - and for that, I will always be grateful."

"Natalie Meisner represents the very best of the human condition; a welcoming and thoughtful soul that delivers exceptional lectures and manifests a safe environment of mutual respect and kindness. As a young queer individual, I have never felt more seen and validated than in her classes, a reality she maintains with every student who strives to excel in their creative efforts."

“Natalie is astonishing. Fantastic with criticism and hilarious in class. Very kind (…) Not only would I recommend her to everybody taking a creative writing course, but I would love to work with her! And it's because of her I can now say I'm a published writer!”

“Natalie makes it easy to participate and adds an element of liveness to the online experience that is both refreshing and exciting. Her classes are truly a gift to be in and I am lucky to have had the time to experience working with her to harness my writing ability.”

“During this class, I recalled my memories. I lived them again, and I keep them as if written on stone for me and my family.”

" Many thanks to my dear Professor Dr. Natalie Meisner. Always she encourages me to develop my creative writing skills and gives me life again to continue enduring the problems of immigration…”

“Throughout my university experience, I had the privilege of taking three exceptional classes with Dr. Natalie Meisner: Introduction to Creative Writing, Script Writing, and Canadian Drama. I cannot stress enough how much I would recommend her to anyone interested in creative writing and looking for an engaging and inspiring professor. Natalie's passion for writing and English literature is palpable and her teaching style is dynamic and interactive, consistently sparking genuine curiosity in her students with each of her lectures. She has a masterful ability to create a welcoming and inclusive learning environment, where all students feel valued and supported in their own unique creative pursuits.

“This story (Double Pregnant) implemented so firmly in my mind I completely missed my stop on the train ride home. I want everyone I know to go and see this play. I want it to be performed in schools. It does such a lovely job of conveying a reality that many are oblivious to: that lesbian and gay couples are just as destined to raise families as anyone else is. They just might have to jump a few hilarious, and horrendous, hurdles to get there.”

"Taking your intro to fiction writing class in my first year opened up so many outlets and avenues for me. My writing brings me such a joy that you’ve helped nurture so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also, you’ve hopefully heard this but seeing you as an out and happy queer person, especially in my first year of uni AND having just come out to my family, lit up so many possibilities to me."
