What’s it like to learn with AWC?
Each year, thousands of students just like you achieve their writing goals through our courses and world-class presenters. Here they share how their new-found skills and confidence enriched their life.
I learnt so much from it. If I were to be honest, I loved module 1 where we created the character the best.
(The tutor) seemed very kind and professional. Her feedback was helpful and informative. Using the feedback, I was able to create another draft which I then sent in exchange of the Q&A option so that I could have it marked. Once again she gave wonderful feedback that I shall put into action on my scene to make it even better than before.
Pamela was incredibly helpful and gave excellent specific feedback and gave lots of insight into writing and publishing when answering my questions. The feedback and answers provided were really useful and fascinating to learn.
Probably a major learning moment was just hearing about the different ways authors and other writers write and plan their stories and that it doesn't really matter how you do it (compared to school where there's always a method and steps you're supposed to take).
The course has been amazing and super helpful and insightful, so thanks!
I wanted to learn how to write fiction so I could write my own book and this course description sounded perfect for me and was exactly what I was looking for.
I loved the assignments and getting feedback on them.
Pamela was lovely and very encouraging. She provided me with wonderful feedback and opened my mind to many new ideas.
It really helped me to get into the nitty gritty of a story and made me think of all the little details that wouldn't normally cross my mind. Every time I read a book or watch a movie now, I really think about the characters and plot, what things work, what things don't and what things I like.
I loved everything about this Teen Creative Writers' course!
There’s not a lot of writing programs offered for teenagers and the idea of direct feedback from a professional was very appealing.
I thought the tutor was very nice and clearly knew what she was talking about. I valued all of her feedback and her enjoyment of my work really made me more confident as a writer.
I enjoyed the feedback and the freedom of how it ran.
It made me more confident and gave my writing more structure, especially when it came to planning.
Thank you for the opportunity and I hope to try this again or try a similar program like this in the future.
I wanted to get practical, methodical advice to help in my writing, and this looked like it covered a variety of skills I wanted to brush up on.
The feedback Ms. Freeman gave me completely exceeded my expectations. I was expecting some simple written comments, but the video format was great and I really appreciated her feedback. There were a lot of gems in what she said. I have a very positive impression of her.
I enjoyed the assignments and listening to the feedback I got from my mentor.
It gave me some practical tips which I’ve used in writing projects and has allowed me to think clearly about how to organise my efforts in writing (and it’s worked, too, since I’ve used some of these tips in school assessments, and to some success :) )
