Our Writers
“The tutor was more than helpful and encouraging. I loved working with her. She opened doors and shed lights over many aspects concerning my writing. She was very generous with her feedback and time.”
“I thought the course was particularly well structured, and I have made significant progress in the writing of my book. I am now really grateful that I have the key crux points of my novel written as they have given me an anchor from which to write from, and a point to return to when I get stuck. It was also helpful to watch podcasts where even established writers confessed to sometimes feeling that their work was unsatisfactory. Knowing that having periods of a lack of confidence or belief in your work is not confined to aspiring novelists is very encouraging.”
“Of all the writing courses I’ve taken this is the best one. The tutor was amazing! I continue to write daily. In fact, the novel I was writing and submitted as part of the class I plan on finding a literary agent.”
“I have nothing but good things to say about this course. My writing has improved so much and I can finally see the touch I believed I was missing before. The tutor was amazing. Her constructive feedback and tips helped me a lot; the articles and blogs she referred me to gave me great insight as to how my writing could be improved. All I can say to my fellow writers is that this course is a great tool to enhancing your skills. The change is gradual but it shines once you compare your works from before and after the course.”
“I really enjoyed the course. To be honest, I was surprised by how good it was! My tutor has been brilliant. She’s supportive, encouraging and also very tough with her edits. Show not tell and adverbs are on my blacklist now. I’ve really enjoyed working with her.”
“With the editorial help and invaluable comments of my tutor, my writing improved exponentially. My only regret is that there isn’t a further course I could do with her tutelage, or an ongoing one that I could do for the rest of my writing life.”
“I have enjoyed the course enormously and I feel like I have learnt an incredible amount. I think the course has offered me more than I expected and the process for submitting work and having it reviewed has been really good. I have also liked interacting with other people on the course.”
“I would definitely recommend these courses to anyone who has an inkling of becoming an author. These courses were not just about learning a few techniques, but they instilled a belief that writing a novel and obtaining a publishing contract is a distinct possibility.”
