Thank you for a great workshop. I am going to write and expand the story with the first line “she knew he was lying” about the mother and boy and chocolate and enter it for the Cromagnon short story comp about primitive humanity https://thecromagnon.com/2015/06/short-story-competition-2015-primitive-humanity/   The closing date is 30th Sept and has to be less than 3000 words. I’ve got just under a third so far 🙂 DW

I wanted to let you both know I enjoyed the library group so much when I did it, found it inspiring in my quest to learn about writing, safe and supportive, welcoming and friendly.” LK Nov,  2014

Just wanted to email you to say how much I love your classes. Can’t believe how much potential comes from each exercise, and how much confidence can arise on seeing what’s produced.  Thank you both so much.” NJ

“Good group of people – no one hogging the limelight, as can happen! Alex and Jude are extremely pleasant, highly encouraging, intuitive, non-threatening and give excellent exercises – amazing how much writing we produce in the time.” M.G.       

“The classes seemed to ‘loosen’ me up from my fixed ideas about how to approach a piece of writing, and helped me trust that ‘I had something worthwhile to write.’  So I say, thank you so much to Jude and Alex for they listen and inspire and stimulate their students.” N.W
