SOME TESTIMONIALS FOR MY WRITING COURSES
Doreen’s lessons were really clear, engaging and practical. The assignments guided me on a journey of development of characters and storytelling. Doreen’s feedback was incredibly helpful – encouraging and upbeat but also very clear and constructive. The format, style and tone of the course gave me the confidence to keep on writing week by week and I absolutely loved it. … A Stokes
I
loved how each module sparked my imagination and before I knew it, I was
writing stories. Doreen’s wonderful words of encouragement helped me and I have
to say I loved the course. I’d encourage anyone thinking about writing to take
the leap. It’s so very worth it. … F Cullen
The thing I really enjoyed about this course was…Pretty much all of it. As someone who has not written properly for a long time this course was a perfect reintroduction to creative writing. Through the simple yet informative modules, the assignments that allow you to be as creative as you like whilst ensuring you incorporate what you have learned into your writing and the wise, encouraging and just plain excellent feedback from Doreen, this course has genuinely rekindled my love for writing.
The
course was very well designed and not once did I feel overwhelmed by the
modules or assignments or the tutor. Very laid back and accessible.
Doreen was a kind and warm presence to have guide me through the course and her enthusiasm for creative writing was contagious. … D Skelly
I could not recommend this course highly enough. I am 36 years of age and have been talking about writing something since around the age of 19 or 20 without ever putting pen to paper. I signed up for this course to force myself to make some sort of an effort and it was just the tonic. Doreen’s light hand has guided me through creating six short pieces of writing which I feel very confident about and her encouragement has me chomping at the bit to write more and also to complete more courses. I definitely feel that this course has put me on the right path.
Anyone looking for the right place to start? You’ve found it. Look no further. For the money it’s the best value you will ever get. … E Buckley
This course is an absolute must for either a beginner or even someone wanting to refresh or build on previous writing experience. The course tutor Doreen Duffy has the unique ability to develop an instant rapport with the student with her relaxed but professional approach.
Her
feedback was thorough, helpful, and full of insight. This course will motivate
you to cultivate a daily writing practise. It will help you to create and bring
your characters to life on the page; and it will guide you through the
essential steps for writing your own short story from start to finish.
I
give this course a FIVE star highly recommended rating. … N Khan
