Dear Alison, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your workshop on short stories. The exercises were inspiring and fun and gave me lots of ideas on how to get started. I came away feeling motivated to get writing.....Thank you! AW

 Alison's classes are a great way of improving your writing, whether beginner or an 'old hand'.  Through class based writing activities and opportunities to discuss their own work in a supportive environment, each student makes progress.  Furthermore, Alison's up-to-date knowledge of the market ensures help in placing your writing; I've had three articles accepted by the Guardian newspaper.  I've also won first prize in a local short story competition and taken third prize in an International Life Writing competition (for which I won £500 and inclusion in an anthology published as an ebook).  Alison's encouragement and enthusiasm have given me the confidence to go for it and see myself as an author.  She can do the same for you.  Lynn Brand - former student.
