I enjoyed the writing prompts the most. They were all so interesting and thought-provoking.

This online course has allowed me to start writing in a structured way without having to physically attend a venue – which has always been my barrier to date.

The instructor was very encouraging and supportive. It gave me the confidence to express my thoughts more freely.

Learning new techniques made me an alert, creative storyteller. I never knew things as simple as narrative point of view or mood and structure could have so much impact. It made me shift my focus on writing craft and edit much better.

The feedback and support of the tutor and moderator really helped me keep going.

The course has been absolutely fantastic. I know there will be many challenges ahead (once you step away from one scene and one area of focus things can very quickly start feeling overwhelming again), but I do feel that I have that toolkit to deal with them and, most importantly, not just a rigid set…

I’ve loved this course and have been recommending it to a couple of my friends. It’s changed how I think about writing (I used to batter out a few chapters then start planning). I’ve written three novels’ synopses since starting this course, so I’ve got my writing sorted for the next little while. The advice…

I feel like I’ve learnt so much through the materials, also from just sitting down and writing.

It has, without a doubt, been hard work, but I feel I’ve learned so much and have really enjoyed writing. The content was brilliant, a really great course.

I’m quite proud of having written my first short story!

A great kick-start for me, it’s really given me what I needed to keep going. Thank you.

Thanks for the virtual company and the feedback. It was great to read all of the group’s interesting takes on the various assignments.
