I loved the course and honestly feel it offered more than (just!) the insights into police procedure, which I didn’t expect. The characterisation aspects continues to be genuinely helpful and it’s improved my work a lot, so I’m most grateful. And the forensic element was even more fun then I hoped. I’ve designed training courses…

In all the years I’ve signed up for courses online I’ve never felt so much a part of a course, nor have I felt that the course itself was so ‘life-changing’ for my writing. At last I recognise where I am succeeding and where I’m failing.

I have looked at the Faber courses a number of times but was uncertain about how effective online learning would be. Last weekend I took part in the short story online course and I got so much out of that. It showed me how quickly you could build a community online and how helpful group…

Graham gave me detailed feedback on my story with advice on making the relationships, reactions, and procedure more realistic. Best of all, this was all done with a lot of encouragement and sensitivity to keeping the integrity of my story. Now I feel like I have something that is both action-packed and factually accurate.

I simply couldn’t have written my novel, Three Hours, without Graham’s help. He was able to give me detailed factual information, which was invaluable, but also to help with what I was trying to achieve in a more creative way…I wholeheartedly recommend him to any author lucky enough to work with him.

Graham is a crime writer’s dream – an author himself but with knowledge of policing at every level.

Being able to call on the services of someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Graham Bartlett is an amazing resource…He has made the book so much better than it would otherwise have been.

Graham Bartlett’s input has been a pivotal element to the success of my Roy Grace novels.  He has applied his extensive and varied policing experience to review my draft novels so as to ensure they are procedurally 100% accurate, that the mannerisms, characteristics and culture of the police shine through, and his eye for detail…

Full marks to the intensive short story course. I came away with new tools and techniques and renewed confidence in my writing. I’ve since won two short story competitions, one with the story I wrote during the course. The support and feedback from fellow participants were invaluable.

I want to say that this course has been the best thing that ever happened to my writing. I’m still making huge errors but little by little having them removed by the excellent feedback and course guidance, material, exercises and so on. I look forward to staying in touch after the course ends through the…

The Introduction to Therapeutic and Reflective Writing and Running Writing Workshops courses not only reconnected me with dormant creativity but also fostered a tangible sense of motivation and movement, ultimately leading me to a defined workshop plan and a renewed engagement with writing for personal pleasure. As a psychotherapist I also found many of the…

The best thing was the feedback which helped me to improve.
