“What did it feel like to get live feedback on my work? Constructive. I learned how to be more self-confident in writing. The feedback…has really stuck with me :)”

“The workshop taught me how to review my interview technique and how to use research material to create a story that tells the truth. I liked the positive learning environment. Due to the super-effective build-up of the workshop, I learned a lot.”

“For me this was a literary feast! It was the first time I have ever participated in such an event, it was the first time I shared my writing with strangers, and it was the first time since my primary school days that I received formal instruction on writing itself and the process of getting there (interviews, research, etc.) and it was WONDERFUL. I didn’t want it to end.”

“I learned how to push through my resistance and produce a decent first draft. What were the highlights of the class? The diversity of the group and the skillful way the instructor accepted our input without compromising the fundamentals.”

“I really enjoyed it!”

“I learned very practical techniques for doing interviews and how not to confuse reporting with interpretation.
I noticed that, apparently, I am my own worst critic. Whereas I am used to see only what doesn’t work in my writing, I now see all the things that do work.
It was a wonderful experience to feel the concentration and positive energy of the group.”

“I was sweating during the whole class, but I must say that it was worth it.”

“I learnt that I have to be creative with language to make a piece special and that sometimes wonderful phrases just create themselves if you start poking around in the dark corners of your mind for inspiration. I also realised that there’s some strange stuff that happens when you start to write…
I learnt that if I have a deadline I find it easier to focus and produce good work. I can then work quite quickly and ignore distractions.
I was enchanted by many of the pieces.”
