“I enjoyed the workshop so much because of the instructor’s professionalism, the demands she made on us as writers and readers and the generosity with which she encouraged us to look at our own work and that of others. It was really instructive to engage with other people’s work and to learn from them how infinite are the variety of ways in which you can approach a piece of nonfiction.”

“I learnt a great deal regarding different interview techniques, ways in which you can approach an interview and gain information from people you’re interviewing.
How you structure, contextualise and edit a narrative was well addressed in the course and made me aware of my personal strengths and weaknesses. The workshop really made me evaluate how I write and the different approaches I can consider when set a writing task.”

“I learned to pay attention to the music of words; to take inspiration from good writing; to pay attention to issues that I find important…. I thought the reading material in the hand-out was great and supported many ideas discussed in class.”
