What’s it like to learn with AWC?

The breadth of the course was delightfully unexpected.

It was perfectly delivered. I really enjoyed casting the net back into the depths of history of how we tell stories, as well as the scientific exploration of how stories affect us and change us.

It's helped me regain focus on my writing, as well as feel better about not having a "perfect" writing schedule or being able to write the "perfect" chapters.

Writing down my fears is as important as writing down my dreams. I can't begin to chase my dreams if I haven't faced my fears, and I can't face my fears until I name them first.

Do it! Best investment in yourself and your writing you could do.

I was drawn to the course by the premise of it being about developing a joyous relationship to writing, and going deeper than just learning techniques. It felt like it would be almost therapeutic!

I enjoyed the way Kate brought so many down-to-earth elements into the course, things that I feel wouldn't be found in other courses. And also complex things like an overview of what's actually going on in the brain in various modes. It all just wove together just a comprehensive and somehow spiritual take on writing.

I've been wanting to bring some stories of mine to life, and this course has given me so many ideas and tools for moving forward with that! I can experience a joyous anticipation about writing when I develop that kind of relationship to it, instead of treating it like a chore or something I need to put lots of pressure on myself for.

This course is fabulous! As soon as I finished the course, I knew that this was one AWC course that I would work through again and again while I still had access to the materials. It wasn't just inspiring, it opened new doors to writing more freely and gave me permission to be a more courageous writer.

I felt like I was being taken on a rich and exciting journey. There was so much help and wisdom to find along the way, and by the end I felt ready to try new things.

This course is about so much more than writing, it is about creativity and how to live a creative life. It is full of tips and strategies, all shared in the most generous and supportive way.

This course will change how you see yourself as a writer. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Wonderful pep talk for those of us who sometimes languish in a morass of being overwhelmed, muddled and amongst other self-defeating prophecies.

I will get back to my book sooner rather than later.

Don't hesitate, do it now!

The research that Kate has done is absolutely phenomenal.

I loved the presentation style, and the accompanying artwork just added an extra layer of richness to the course.

It has shown me that it is ok to devote my life to learning and that it will take time and practice to perfect my craft.

From the opening module of inspiration, I was absolutely hooked. The knowledge Kate presented was so varied and in depth, however, totally understandable.

The quality of courses run by AWC are consistently high, with the most up-to-date industry knowledge available. The participant is always left with the feeling that anything is achievable.

Absolutely inspiring, such a refreshing approach, so many wonderful pointers to enrich my journalling and writing, and has given me the impetus I needed to believe in my writing again - Thank you Kate!

Kate's sharing of her craft - the way I felt as though Kate was talking to me directly and cheering me on with my writing, and the gorgeous artwork she chose to send subliminal messages throughout. The 12 challenges - practical and wonderful for a lifetime of writing.

Renewed belief in my writing abilities.

If you want to learn about writing from masters of the craft, AWC is the place to do it.

There was so much packed into this little course. It was simple but also offered practical exercises and tools to help me develop my writing skills and daily writing practice. I've taken lots of notes and saved everything so I can come back to what I've learned whenever I need to refocus.

I think I've been struggling with giving myself permission to prioritise writing, and not just writing but thinking, researching random ideas, going down the rabbit hole for no other reason than I'm interested. This course has helped me step into my power and prioritise the things that don't matter to anyone else but me.

AWC courses are professionally presented, clear and engaging.

It was like being taken gently but firmly on an adventurous journey.

It connected to what I know about the brain and helped me to understand how I can use this knowledge to develop a writer's life.

Do this course before anything else.

It's really exceptional. It pulls a person to bits then invites a reconstruction.

Kate's a great presenter. The examples and images she selected are astounding.

The exercises helped me to see my writing in a new light.

I'm in the middle of writing a fiction. Sometimes I slow down and stop. I hoped this course would help me to stay on track and give me some new creative ideas.

The depth of exploration into creativity far exceeded my expectations. Also, Kate is an inspiring presenter who exudes joy and positivity throughout.

There was something different in every lesson; I just kept learning something new.

Technical detail beautifully explained. No judgement of what you write about or whether or not you're a good writer. Kate's message was that if you need to write, then you must write, which was great to hear from a published author. Journal writing challenges were fantastic.

An inspiring and enlightening course.

I have used the suggested writing prompts for memoir writing each week and told others about the course.

I enjoyed Kate's engaging manner and enthusiasm. Well structured. Loved the references to poetry and art. Loved Kate's personal stories.

I just loved it. It was so nourishing and inspiring and reassuring.

I have been writing for a long time, but felt stuck with regards to inspiration. The course gave me practical tips to move forward and develop a well of inspiration. Also I had felt quite low about being stuck, and Kate's course really lifted me up.

The Dare to Dream course was something every writer should do!

I enjoyed Kate's encouraging style, her wisdom, and her clear presentation. I'm much more confident in my writing and sharing it with my local writers' group.

Loved it. Thank you Kate!

Kate and her course have inspired me to keep on writing even though there are times when life gets in the way.

For anyone who is passionate about learning their craft and is serious about making writing their career, don't hesitate to do this course. In fact, I have encouraged a few aspiring writers to do so.

The variety of topics was very interesting and completely different from any other writing course I have done before. I really loved Module 3 about the history of storytelling and how stories affect our brains - so fascinating! But Kate also gave very practical tips and processes which are things I can implement myself, and it was good to hear how she incorporates some of these suggestions in her own life.

I am going to take on board some of Kate's tips on facing fears and finding flow from Module 4. There were some practical suggestions which I want to implement in my own writing life.

This was so inspirational. It took me a while to complete the challenges, but they were interesting, tested my mettle and activated another part of my brain. Writing is now a daily practice. Thank you, Kate!

Kate made a statement to the effect, "You never know what words you might write which could heal the pain in another's heart." That really resonated with me.

I absolutely would recommend the AWC. A great range of courses at very reasonable rates. It's great to see how many authors go on to be published after doing these courses.

I found Kate's down-to-earth approach warming. It made me think about many aspects of writing that I had not understood before.

Kate took me on a journey I never imagined possible. I am now inspired to write more because it is what I love to do, for me, rather than anyone else. Who knows where that may take me in the future.

The course was easy to follow and it was very interesting listening to Kate.

I'm now motivated to commence my journey with some aids in hand.

A great way to introduce yourself into tackling your dream to write.

I really want to write but do not see myself as a creative person. I was struggling with ideas and wanted a course that might help me to tap into that.

I actually really enjoyed learning about the artists that Kate introduced us to and how art and writing are strongly connected. The same with poetry. I have not really looked much at poetry before but this course drew my attention to it and I've begun to read more of it. I've even tried writing my own Haikus!

I have leaned into my daily writing habit more, honing it to be more reflective in a positive way about the things I experience daily, rather than the often depressive, self-deprecating ramblings I was writing. This has really helped me to keep the joy and remind myself that in order to write well I need to look out to the world for inspiration not inward.

Kate's enthusiasm for writing is infectious. If you are ever in any doubt about your capacity as a writer, let Kate guide you through how to tap into the well within and around you and get ready to be amazed with what you will find.
