I enjoyed the process of writing a treatment, and it made me realise what I’d been doing wrong with my previous scripts.

I suffered from creative block for a long time, and this course got me out if it.

The Storytelling for Screen course is spectacularly good and I’d love to stay with PWA and take another class.

Special thanks to John for his feedback and requesting to read the script. As an aspiring screenwriter, it means a massive amount to hear this stuff from people of such experience. Plus, being outside the ‘industry’ so to speak, it’s hugely exciting. The course has been an education in story structure, and in hindsight, I…

A fantastic course! The exercise of breaking down films has been extremely helpful. It has also directly helped me with understanding and improving the plotting for the play I’m working on at the moment.

I’m excited for the alumni area. Clearly, when I was deciding which course would be the best for my money, I made the right decision signing up here. Everything has been the best — my tutor Emily, my fellow students, the system — and I did not even expect such great post-course opportunities!

If it wasn’t for the Writing a Novel course, I wouldn’t have thought enough about how reflecting on other writers’ work can really push forward my own writing. I very much appreciate the confidence boost; it spurs me on!

The online Writing a Novel course gets 10 stars for flexibility and user-friendliness, but even more for thoughtful structuring and teaching. I can’t quite believe how far I’ve advanced.

I have been looking all my writing life for just the kind of detailed, attentive advice my tutor provided in his feedback on my novel — and it is just what I need.

The real and great benefit of doing the Writing a Novel course and discussing issues with the tutor is that he is bang up to date and in touch with what readers really want.

The pitches on the Writing a Novel course have got to be the most difficult writing exercises I have ever completed. They are also the most valuable, because now I finally understand what my story is about.

Before the Writing a Novel course, I always wanted to write and did nothing about it — probably like thousands of other people. Now we’re 6,000 words into our novels, already further than a lot of people will ever get. We can do it!
