What our students say
The course was taught in a really supportive, encouraging and inspiring way. Our tutor Introduced us to a wide range of creative writing approaches as well as giving us some fantastic references. I was lucky to be part of an extremely talented group and the way in which the classes were structured allowed everyone to listen to each other and become further inspired.
