Praise for the course

“The course gave me concrete tools for my writing, including ways to generate new ideas and a fantastic approach to editing. Nik’s constructive feedback gave me more confidence in my writing, along with some good clues as to where I need to make improvements.”

“One of the things that really worked for me with this course was the size of the assignments. I didn’t feel over-faced and start worrying that I wouldn’t have the time to get through each one; very important for anyone working full time or maybe with a full time family to run.”

“The immediacy of the feedback was excellent and really helped me maintain momentum with each piece of work. From a practical perspective, I think the pricing is very reasonable and the delivery mechanism worked well.”

“Excellent value for money and the assignments were the right length for me as I work full time.”

“Nik’s practical approach to editing is something that will prove invaluable to my development as a writer.”

Nik’s enthusiasm & positivity was inspiring & his detailed analysis & prompt feedback really helped to highlight my strengths & weaknesses. It was a successful course as it covered a range of topics which enabled me to build up a set of skills to produce new flash fictions. 

“It helped me look at my work in a whole new way.”

“My only complaint is the course has ended.”
