What’s it like to learn with AWC?

It was logical, interesting and well presented. The interviews were apt and added value to the talks.

It has given me the courage to proceed and enrol in Creative Writing Stage 1.

I have three books forthcoming and want to establish an online presence, including an author website.

The course was so practical, detailed and useful. Michelle did a fabulous job, so much so that I hope to engage her to build my website.

It has given me the guidance I need to put together a brief for a really effective author website. It has also galvanised my thinking around the effort I will need to put in to build income around my writing.

High quality, professionally run courses on specific topics. If there is an area of weakness in your writing skillset, the AWC can probably help.

The quality and detail of the course work was wonderful. It felt so targeted and relevant to what I was trying to achieve.

Bernadette was a generous and experienced tutor. I appreciated all the feedback and support I received from her.

I enjoyed sharing the journey with others. The ongoing links to people and knowledge. The recorded course work and handouts.

It's got me writing and believing that I can actually finish my novel and it might be half good!

If you're serious, or even if you just want to have some fun, I highly recommend AWC. The tutors are industry professionals who know what they are talking about and the course work is relevant and detailed. It's also a wonderful way to make connections that will outlast the course.

I love funny stories and wanted to learn how to write like that.

The content was engaging and interesting. It was just really good content; easy to understand.

I now feel confident that I can try writing funny stories with all the tips in this course from a highly successful children's author.

The author interviews were really interesting and encouraging. I'm now much more confident about the process of writing romance.

Do it. You will learn a lot. The course is very practical and encouraging. Plenty to sink your pen into (so to speak!)

I had concerns it would be far too technical; it wasn't. The course and trainer were fantastic. I enjoyed the simplicity of explanations

I'd say it's worth every cent.

I realised I can now use these skills for marketing and promoting my own business as an artist and help other people. It has given me more confidence.

The tutor is very approachable, speaks well and he is very knowledgeable. Excellent feedback.

This course has taught me a whole new set of writing skills that I can apply to a range of media. It was a well-designed course, the videos and handouts were succinct and easy to understand. Now I know some inside secrets! I always thought copywriting and marketing were for corporate people, but now I know I can do it, there's no stopping me. This course has given me confidence to move forward.

The headline formulas were amazing! I have landed my first small copywriting job as a result of this course.

Great courses, wide range of specialties.

I feel like this course was very practical but also inspiring. It makes writing seem like a viable option if you work hard enough, get enough support and find your niche.

Great structure, lots of practical steps and many modules in a length of time that was do-able (bit by bit in your own time).

I really loved how you structured the course. I wanted to learn about the three main points of view. It is so important to get the basics right.

I had a load of fun with Module 3. The examples of the different versions (same scene) taught me a lot. I could imagine each character vividly: their gestures, their voices, the way they look.

I feel more confident when I write a scene. I learned a lot about proper structuring. Things have become clearer about third-person limited narration and omniscient narration.

I can highly recommend this course. The course has taught me a lot. I feel so encouraged to continue on this basis.

I am not a funny writer and enjoy extending my skills into new areas. Everything helps to develop the craft of writing.

Tim's video modules were really engaging.

I enjoyed the writing exercise. It stumped me for a long time but once I was able to put something together, it was very satisfying meeting the brief.

I am attempting to bring humour into a story I'm currently writing. I'm able to do this now as I have a better understanding of humour techniques.

I found this course really useful and it gave me strategies to use when a story isn't working or how to get it started.

The tutor was great; really useful and encouraging feedback.

It has given me new ideas and the confidence to keep going. Pushed me to think differently about a story, taking other points of view and using visualisation strategies.

Excellent for giving you the underpinning needed for great story telling or other writing styles.

I felt that it was what I needed, as I was going through a phase where I felt dry creatively and really needed a boost of inspiration.

I loved the entire course. Kate shared so many valuable and practical tips and techniques to help me in my writing. I feel very inspired. And I'm excited about putting everything I've learned to practice.

I've started my daily secret writing. Although it's not a novel, it's a great way to get me putting words onto paper every day. And it helps me process through my thoughts and learn to articulate them. Plus, I believe it will gradually help to unshackle me from the fears and "droughts" that have been limiting and inhibiting my creativity.

I've done several courses with AWC now, and I'm very happy with all of them. Keep up your good work! And thanks for helping writers like me :)

What a pleasure this course has been!! So thankful for such a wonderfully talented, diverse and supportive group of writers, and of course, Pamela's invaluable mentorship.

Pamela was brilliant. So generous with her time and feedback, she was always insightful and considered. I found her feedback invaluable. She gave me the encouragement I needed to keep pushing through to meet my goals. She helped me to learn a lot about my writing, both strengths and weaknesses. Could not have been happier with a tutor.

I really lucked out with a great diverse group of people in this course. On the whole, really helpful and supportive. The deadlines were good for me - made me go the extra mile and produce what I probably wouldn't have done in the timeframe.

I am changing my working life next year to free up more writing time. I want to get this current novel in print and commence, if not complete, my next manuscript in 2023.

Just do it! There are courses for all kinds of writers and you can do them at your own pace. Great tutors and a fabulous way to connect with other writers. I have already recommended AWC to a number of people.

Just a sincere thank you for helping me get to where I want to be.

This was a really useful course with practical applications. The modules were user-friendly and the course could be completed in my own time.

I was hesitant to have an author website, but now I am confident I can create and maintain one.

This course was so much more than I expected. I loved the combination of science, inspiration, method and art. It all blends so beautifully to give this "writer in hiding" the courage to throw off the chains and "dare to dream." To dream my visions into life.

What an amazing group of genuine, thoughtful, and intelligent beings. A privilege to share my Monday evenings with them, even virtually or on replay. Thank you for your sharings, fellow dreamers. Oh, and the art :)

AWC courses are always great. Well organised, the tech just works and the content never disappoints.

Just BIG THANKS to Kate and all the team for a beautiful course, and here's to the artist's life, may we all live long and brave and free :)

Simply inspiring. The rest is up to me ...

I wondered how appropriate the course would be for an unpublished writer like myself, but I need not have worried. The course was full of information useful to both unpublished and published writers.

The course has made me think more about my goals - not just for my website, but also for my writing in general. As a side note ... once I started, I was hooked and 'binged' the lessons :)

I have an idea for a story and wanted some technical knowledge about how to write it. The course gave some great insights into ways to improve my writing.

I enjoyed reading other people's stories and the feedback and encouragement from other students.

Completing the course allows you to have insight into the writing process and really helps to improve your writing.

Thanks for a fun course!

I was initially hesitant, mainly anxiety about other people reviewing my writing - however that was a highlight as the feedback has been a gift.

The tutor was excellent, right amount of support and direction.

I enjoyed the whole course, from the handouts (and the extra reading recommendations) through to the assignments and the feedback. It has been a positive part of every week to sit down and complete the modules and the writing tasks.

A wonderful opportunity to unlock that creative side of yourself and learn something on the way.

This was a great course to become inspired to write. Kate's presenting skills were very engaging, and her presentation was filled with inspiring quotes, information and imagery.

It has encouraged me to explore creative writing further.
