"The bit of me that always loved writing was reawakened, and I felt alive and inspired.

I learnt so much from hearing other students reading their work and grappling with how to proceed, and from the struggles and successes of the tutors.

I felt that the tutors, as well as imparting so much practical knowledge, really cared and wanted the best for each student."
I now have the germ of a plan of action. Before I came I had put ideas of writing on a very high shelf.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and easy going, and we were looked after so well."

Sunna Yates, London
Novel & Memoir writing course

"Every tutor had prepared very thoroughly indeed, listened carefully to our comments and questions and provided us with very helpful advice"

On the individual tutorial system:

"My tutor had taken much time and care to study my work, provide me with a really useful personal writing task for my novel and give me much guidance."

"Every tutor encouraged me, told me where I was going (a bit) wrong, and where and how I could succeed."

Danae Penn - Historical Fiction writer
(Comments from student feeback form).

"There was also an X factor here: both tutors were just LIKABLE. It's one of those things one cannot really articulate but it IS important: warmth, humour and an ability to criticise but constructively so."

" I feel more liberated as a writer yet more mature and polished."

James Murphy, writer & film critic 'CLARET.'
(Memoir & Novel course)

......................

"I enjoyed the diversity offered. The addition of music/lyrics (Dave Barbarossa and Danny Wright) created another dimension and also enabled us to relax after an intense day."

"I arrived at the course with a vague notion of wanting to write something, and left with a concrete plan for a memoir!"

Heather Whitehall Trochon, translator.
