ZOOM IN YOUR OWN HOME
“It's very comfortable to Zoom in while being in your own home. It was the most enjoyable thing I have done for a long time. It helped me to sound out my writing while being given constructive criticism.”
Anon from a student survey
I DIDN'T THINK I COULD!
“I didn't think I could do it and now I think I can. Loved the tutor. Loved meeting the other students. It was fun and challenging.”
Anon from a student survey
COMMUNITY THAT BUILDS
“It feels like a writing community rather than separate courses. The costs are low compared with other options and I hope that means that it's more accessible. The mix of ages is good.”
Anon from a student survey
