Testimonials from other students
"I loved how this course went beyond the usual advice to ‘show not tell’ and recognises that telling is important in stories. It’s demystified the difference between show and tell — thank you!"
"A great short course that provides substantial, practical introduction to lots of essential writing topics...I liked the variety of modes of the lessons (video, text, book extracts etc.) that Rebecca presented, and the short bursts of information and exercises kept me engaged."

Forever! After enrolling, you have unlimited lifetime access to these courses - across any and all devices you own.
Does the teacher provide feedback?

How do I access my courses?
All our online workshops are hosted at workshops.killyourdarlings.com.au, via the Teachable platform.
