Feedback from past students on the course:

"I absolutely loved the course. It was extremely clear, covered different aspects of writing for feature articles perfectly, and my tutor Sarah's  guidance was extremely helpful and included great direction. I also loved the addition of the grammar tips in the beginning. Sarah inspired me to write from the heart, shared tips to write more effectively, and revealed areas I could improve on. She was encouraging at every step, and that's what gave me more confidence in my writing. It was a perfect industry-tailored course." Michelle Souza, Basics of Feature Writing Course

"It was a very well structured, easy-to-follow course. All in all - it was FUN! My tutor was clear and incisive with her feedback. She gave excellent explanations for any changes she suggested (leading to some good learning on my part) and also provided encouragement and motivation. Importantly, she balanced a high level of professionalism in giving feedback, with an approachable manner. I always felt comfortable asking questions and always got clear and timely responses." Esther Water, Basics of Feature Writing.

"My experience on the course was generally excellent. I learnt a great deal and feel my writing improved. The feedback my tutor gave was excellent. I was made far more aware of structures within writing. My aim was to generally improve my writing skills. I was not sure where to start, but I feel I made progress. I would recommend the Writers College to anyone wanting to have a go at writing, or up-skill themselves with a view to possible career changes in their future." Nick Ward, Basics of Feature Writing

“I enjoyed the practical aspects of the course and working with a highly credible and talented tutor. The course didn't feel like an extension of academia, but as though I'd plunged into a real-world writing experience, with the safety net of a tutor to guide me along the way. My tutor’s  feedback was exceptional. She was frank, honest and extremely complimentary at the same time. The courses at The Writers College are not about gaining a qualification but about gaining a practical and real-world writing experience. Without The Writers College I don't think I would have the confidence to get out there and publish my writing.” Rochelle Sewell, Basics of Feature Writing Course
