What’s it like to learn with AWC?

Listening to all of the feedback and the lessons gave an amazing insight into the depth of your knowledge of story and the industry.

The tutor was exceptional. The experience and generosity of Pamela was wonderful.

It's great value for money and I would advise anyone who is thinking about doing an AWC course to just go for it! You will not be disappointed.

The AWC is an amazing hardworking community of writers that are incredibly welcoming. I would encourage anyone to try one of their courses...I think this one has been my favourite so far!

A heartfelt thank you to Pamela and all at the AWC, keep doing what you're doing, you are making a positive difference to people's lives.

I enjoyed and appreciated the specificity of the feedback as well as the encouragement.

It helped me get a good understanding of some of the basic building blocks of writing that I was unaware of. I am now equipped with tools to work with before starting to write and to use when I get stuck in my writing.

I have been meaning to pursue writing for a while now and I decided one evening to take the bull by the horns and just do it. With the support of my husband, we both began an internet search for creative writing courses, and he came across AWC.

I found this course very informative and welcomed all feedback from Victoria and my fellow classmates. I found the worksheets very helpful in being able to put the audio modules to practice.

I looked forward to Monday's feedback sessions far more than I thought I would, to the point that I would often keep an eye out and refresh my webpage more than usual in anticipation.

I enjoyed the release of each new module and would stay up so that I could see what it entailed. I also enjoyed the writing challenges especially the one where we were asked to rewrite a previous assignment in the point of view of a different character to represent how each character has a different take on things.

I found the AWC to be a great place to start on your writing journey and there are multiple courses to choose from to best suit what you are looking for.

The tutor was very experienced and adept at analysing the written pieces and communicating the feedback in an insightful and encouraging way. I appreciated the comments about her own experience in writing and publishing that was relevant to particular pieces of writing. It gives me hope and sheds some light on the potential road ahead.

The feedback from the tutor not just about my work but others' work too. I also enjoyed reading others' writing and giving each other feedback. This was very worthwhile in learning how a reader interprets your writing and showing your blind spots.

Even if you are tentative, if have even a small stirring within to write, you should definitely jump off the cliff of doubt and enrol in a course that resonates with you. You won't regret it!

I loved the course!!!

I found the most enjoyable part of this course (and other AWC courses) to be that it was so enjoyable! The videos and handouts are easy to digest and the information so practical.

It has given me more confidence to start writing, knowing I have the program and knowledge to organise my work. It's scary to be heading down this path so all sources of confidence are much appreciated!

AWC courses are very easy to digest, very practical, and pave the way for a career in writing.

I'm struggling with my manuscript opening. I knew it wasn't right but needed guidance.

This seminar was a straightforward look at what to do and, more importantly, what not to do with an opening, plus examples of good openings. It has given me some tools to use when I re-draft my opening.

I really like that so much handy info/templates are provided - super helpful.

I have learned, through this and other courses, that a lot of the hard work in writing is setting the structure - there are so many angles that can be simply followed.

Just do it!

I had an idea for a children's picture book, but did not quite know how to get started. I looked for a course and found the AWC.

The tutor was very knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed doing the coursework, feeling motivated and receiving feedback.

Money well spent. Enjoyable and rewarding. Two of my manuscripts are in the process of being published!

I have wanted to be a writer my whole life, and after signing on for the Copywriting Essentials the self-doubt kicked in. I was doubting my abilities and wondering how on earth I could even contemplate changing the path I was on at my age. I saw this course and it sounded like the motivation I needed.

I loved hearing the accounts of former graduates and how they had overcome their own doubts and feelings of "surely I can't do this?" And the practical suggestions were exactly what I needed.

I really feel that I can make the change and finally become a paid writer.

I was looking for the best course to start my journey and am so pleased I discovered it with AWC!

It gave me an insight into how to better construct a novel. I learnt what genre or sub genre my story belongs to and how to simply just pick up that pen (or keyboard) & write!

I have more confidence in my ability to write what I love to read.

The case studies were interesting with individuals from diverse backgrounds with a common interest in pursuing their writing. Also it is great to see that many AWC graduates have been able to transition to full time writing and secure publishing deals for their novels.

The course has given me some motivation to consider taking up an entry level course in writing.

AWC receives positive reviews online and the course offerings are comprehensive. AWC offers courses for individuals interested in writing, regardless of where they are in their writing journey.

The Q and A at the end answered many of my own questions (and then some). I now have a better understanding of how to develop characters and their personalities. I will probably reference this seminar as I work on my novel.

Just do it! I really like the structure and layout of the courses. There are courses here for every area of interest with regard to writing.

I enjoyed the in-depth descriptions of so many real-life experiences of your students and the courses they took to help them on their writing journeys. Realizing that with quality courses behind me and some effort, a career in writing is possible. Finding out that people with no background in writing can still become writers!

I love your site! The range of courses is extensive and there is something here for everyone with a passion for writing - no matter the style.

I was ready to keep going with my story idea but needed help with structure as well as a deadline to keep me focussed and writing. I had completed Novel Writing Essentials and this was the next step.

This course and tutor allowed me to write as the type of writer I am: a pantser. A chaotic one. I always looked forward to the new modules dropping and reading the feedback, although this last was also the most nerve racking.

It has shown me I can write something someone else would like to read; that it is okay to be a pantser and that not everyone is going to like what I write and that's okay too. It has also given me permission to be a writer.

I highly recommend these courses to anyone who is thinking they want to write. Even if you only have a tiny idea but want to see it grow these courses are what you need. Just do it.

Pamela was professional and to the point. I would love to work with her again!

I enjoyed the personalised feedback and the way the information was put together. It was definitely worth it!

I felt a boost in my self-esteem after Pamela's feedback and my writing greatly improved. In these five weeks, I wrote about 32,000 words which brought me to the end of my second novel that I started in November for NaNoWriMo. I'm excited to hopefully see it published next year!

This is a fantastic course if you are ready to take your writing to the next level.

An excellent program, well-structured and narrated.

There was so much information available to help understand the technical side of writing and the implications of those elements on the writing itself. Despite being a prolific reader, I'd not looked at it quite this way. Nothing was new, and yet when outlined, everything was new!

If you want to understand how to maximise your writing, do this course.

The course is super helpful to dive deep into your characters, which will enrich your story tenfold.

This course seemed to be perfect for me. I have written a novel and edited it many times. I also paid to have my novel professionally edited. She gave me loads of really useful information and advice that I painstakingly put into place. I was always worried though, that if I didn't start to really take on the 'how to' of editing myself, that I would never get anywhere with my novel.

This course offered a way to really attack my novel and get it to be the best it can be. I am really grateful for the information given.

It's pretty clear that if you follow all the steps properly, that you will end up with a far better novel than what you started with. I really liked how this course gave such a clear answer to the question 'what do I do now?'

I really feel ready to move my novel into the next phase. I already knew that my novel had significantly improved since being professionally edited. The advice that I was given after that read was so in line with what came out in this course that I wish I had have done this course first. Then I could have had her read it after I had done all these checks and changes.

So easy. You just jump on your computer whenever you have the time and start learning. You can do it all in a day, or a little bit every week. I also really loved how the language used in the audio really made me (the writer) feel completely normal for wanting to write a book even when I don't know if I have what it takes. It was reassuring.

The Writing Picture Books course was so comprehensive. I learnt so much. I was very impressed by my online tutor and appreciated the honest and constructive feedback. I enjoyed the practical and useful information and the exercises that gave me an opportunity to put this information into practice.

I have always dreamed about writing and illustrating a children's picture book. Until this course this dream seemed a little out of reach. Now I have the tools and confidence to make my dreams a reality.

If you are serious about getting a children's book published, this is definitely the course for you!

My sincere thanks for putting this course together.

The Content Writing online self-paced course is a convenient starting point to writing - it meant that I could complete it in my own available time.

The video demonstrations are a great learning tool as they make it easy to understand the before and after examples.

I took on this course to help me learn to write content for my current employer. I now have a number of writing options I can apply to my work.

Give it ago, you're worth the educational investment and you never know where it will take you.
