Student Testimonials

‘I have written so many little wonderful paragraphs about all sorts of things.’

‘I think it was all excellently explained, even harder structures like iambic pentameter were clear to me and I enjoyed learning about them.‘

‘I loved the maps prompt, it had so many interpretations and I could really make it my own thing, which I found great because I could try things such as different geographical features or people.’

‘I think the world-building really helped in creating useful ideas that I could tie in with my plot ideas, as it gives context and depth to them.’
