I have found joy in writing through these workshops. The sense of creative community has encouraged and inspired me. I hate it when I have to miss sessions: they are a central part of my week!
Anna is excellent at fostering a sense of belonging and mattering within the group. The course design helps you to focus on developing your practice in a way that works for you. I feel I have a toolkit of resources I can access, as well as a community that I can share the experience of writing with.
I have gained so much from Anna's expertise and from that of the other participants. I travel over 200 miles as a round trip each week to attend, and it is the best thing I've done in a long time. I strongly recommend this group to seasoned or new writers (like myself).
Anna’s groups are supportive and welcoming and the techniques and exercises you’ll undertake will really help you to refine your work, uncover your style and discover ways of developing a writing practice that work for you. Above all, you’ll discover a community of encouraging writers who are keen to support you in your ambitions for your writing, whatever those ambitions may be.
Before attending my first B-writing course, my confidence in myself as a writer had been very low. Although I’d previously completed a screenwriting course at university, life had very much got in the way of writing. While I knew I needed to write, I was finding it difficult to find a sustained way back into writing. These courses gave me the confidence to pursue my writing ambitions again and to explore ways I could put my writing out into the world.
Anna’s focus on wellbeing and embodiment in writing has allowed me to find a deeper level of “being” in my writing, which is having an effect on other areas of my life. I am a mental health professional and a trauma therapist. I would recommend this course to writers interested in their relationship with writing and with their wellbeing.
