Testimonials from other students
"Engaging, eye-opening and easy to follow—Sophie’s workshop is a must, not just for essayists but for writers of all genres."
"Sophie’s workshop is full of practical advice and concrete examples of how to put theories and techniques into practice, which I found really helpful. It’s useful to follow as you write a whole piece from start to finish, but equally as useful if you’re partway through a project and are trying to shift your writing out of a rut."
"This workshop explores elements of the writing process that I had not considered before, including dynamic ways to approach structure and theme...it's comprehensive and leaves you feeling much more confident and encouraged to write."
"Well structured, easy to follow and full of helpful information. I found the small exercises she set challenging and fun. They really inspired me to write about one of my personal experiences in a way that can be shared and enjoyed by others."
"Fiona's course gave me a lot of insight into why some of my favourite personal essays work, and also how the different types of essay openings can contribute to the subject stylistically or serve a thematic purpose as well as just being interesting or intriguing. I really enjoyed it!"
