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’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…
