It is incredibly helpful to have the other participants on the Short Story course read and make comments on my work each week — and in such a supportive way.

The course more than fully met my expectations. For an introductory course it is extremely rich and there is so much potential. The community was what really buoyed me up – more than I could have imagined. I’m also much more convinced about the therapeutic effect of reflective writing. I’ve moved on issues and I’ve…

Taking part in this course has been a wonderful, profound experience and a powerful stage in a journey. I have got so much more from the course than I initially expected, due to its depth and breadth and how carefully it has been put together by Anne and Victoria. I have also been so enriched…

The first online course I’ve ever done turns out to be the best writing course I’ve ever done (and I’ve done lots of brilliant ones). Created and taught by Anne Taylor and Victoria Field, the Introduction to Reflective and Therapeutic Writing is a rich and varied adventure into personal archaeology and cartography. You will dig…

The course has been remarkably good value for money. It has provided loads of resources and many new book suggestions. I have loved the assignments, every single one, and loved the brain-buzz I’ve felt at the end. It has been a sweet learning curve discovering new lives, new careers and new ways of writing.

I’ve loved everything about this course: the required reading, the writing exercises, the added challenge of having to reflect on my own and others’ work, and the privilege of being a learner again. I found the level was about right – not too easy, not too difficult. The format for giving feedback worked well for…

This course has given me new ways of working with my clients and added to my own ongoing self-enquiry. I have felt really held and inspired by the tutors and our online community, this was a concern at the beginning, but very quickly I felt safe and embraced. I take great store from my feedback…

Dr Soule has been working with the University of Stirling for a number of years. He provides our research staff and students with inspiring courses on academic writing, and feedback has been consistently high. I have been extremely happy with the quality of training provided by Dr Soule, and have therefore consciously included him in…

What a terrific course; a gold nugget. I learnt loads. It really is one of the best courses I’ve done. The learning materials were interesting, useful and well-paced.

I’ve really enjoyed the learning process throughout Storytelling for Screen and am now more aware of when something is missing or not working in a script and why that might be. Before it might be a gut feeling, but now I’ve got the tools, the problem solving is much more tangible.

I enjoyed the process of writing a treatment, and it made me realise what I’d been doing wrong with my previous scripts.

I suffered from creative block for a long time, and this course got me out if it.
