Completed the 4 week, Unlocking Creativity Course run by Richard. What can I say about this stellar business and the support they have given me?Since my time there I can honestly say my life on and off the writing desk have dramatically improved. The people you will meet and share with will inspire you as well as encourage you through the supporting environment that has been cultivated in The Writer’s Studio.I have completed more writing and have learned more than I was expecting to. Even if you think you know a lot, there is ALWAYS more to learn and that journey is where the true fun lies.I can’t wait to come back for another course in the near future.read more

I don't regularly write reviews, but have no qualms writing this one!After undertaking The Unlocking Creativity online course, I feel like I have acquired the discipline and the skill set to take the next daring step. The course materials are exactly the guidance you need; informative, no waffling, and no nannying - they know what they're talking about, what works and what are the commonplace mistakes, using their own experience and the experiences of other writers through quotes to demonstrate the lessons learned in the most eloquent way. That said, they also and most importantly create and maintain a non-judgemental and actively encouraging environment, that make you feel safe and brave and inevitably you grow as a writer in those conditions.I've learned skills I didn't even know I needed to have or that I didn't have, and at the same time I can't believe I was trying to stumble along haphazardly without them! Very, very glad to have come across them, and plan on continuing with them for another course! :D-----(New review - I think Google doesn't allow multiple reviews of the same place, so I'm adding it to the end of my last one)I’ve looked forward to taking the Short Story Genre online course from even before I took Unlocking Creativity - and I have enjoyed it even more than I expected to (and my expectations were high!) – I’m simply loved every moment of it! In addition, I found it immensely valuable - it has opened my writing up to possibilities that I could not have perceived.I did not think it was possible for me to possess the skill set to write a love story or a comedy etc in a piece of writing, but it is actually very accessible for anyone - they give broken down step-by-step instructions; list what the specific ingredients needed are, making it very doable, and I’m surprised by how easily I could take elements of each genre and make them the centrepiece in a piece of writing.They facilitate a very supportive environment to be creative in, despite it being essentially a critique course - you’re commended on your achievements and are supported through your learning and improvements. I am definitely doing another course with them, because I don’t just think it can make me a better writer, I know.read more

I recently completed the online Unlocking Creativity course and found it very worthwhile and helpful on many levels: motivation, guidance, feedback (from the tutor and other participants) and, of course, deadlines. And as well as useful, it was also enjoyable. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to try flexing their writing muscles and I intend to do further courses with the Writer's Studio.read more

I have just completed the 6 week Short Story Genre course, wow !! This course was such a great building block following on from Unlocking Creativity earlier in the year. We were set four Genre short story tasks and each time i thought "I don't know how to write about this subject" but with the support and tools provided, it happened! Then came the Tutors feedback and that of my fellow writers, so many ideas and so much encouragement, we all pressed on to complete a very worthwhile step to becoming a 'writer'. Can't wait to start my next course Novel - First Draft. Thank you Writers Studio.read more

I have done a few courses online with The Writers’ Studio (Unlocking Creativity, Short Story - Character, and I just finished Novel and Script First Draft).In the online courses, you work your way through the material and each week post some writing for feedback from your tutor. All the tutors that I have worked with (Geraldine, Yasmin, and Liz) have been encouraging and have given constructive feedback that helped me improve my writing. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate their support!In the first two courses you also exchange feedback with your classmates which makes you better able to analyse your own and others’ writing to decide what works and what you like.If, like me, you used to enjoy writing as a kid but stopped for some reason that you don’t even remember (maybe it was just that life got in the way?) I would absolutely recommend contacting the Writers’ Studio.read more

I have always wanted to write but totally lacked confidence in my ability to do so. My lifelong creative outet has been as a composer. For the past two decades, I've thought about writing my memoirs. Then at 67yrs, I started running and at 68yrs ran my first marathon and haven't stopped. I wanted to write about my transformative running journey, too. But how to begin? And more importantly, continue? Now 74yrs, through my daughter, I was thrilled to discover The Writers' Studio. We both enrolled in their mind-blowing Unlocking Creativity. Four weeks on, thanks to this awesome course, I'm thrilled to have developed some budding writing skills and brimming confidence that with the help of the online First Draft Novel course and its encouraging tutors, I will get my own story into a readable form. My fear of writing has been transformed into excitement at the start of another creative journey. Can't wait to start. It so helps that I won't be taking this journey on my own. Totally recommend the Writers' Studio.read more

I have just completed the four week Unlocking Creativity course and I can say that it was a revelation. It was utterly rewarding to be composing pieces under the rigorous but relaxed guidance of Roland and Kathleen, and also my own dedicated tutor, who was the most insightful, generous, encouraging person imaginable. The course was not a pushover by any means, but I found that if I followed the teaching on structure, letting go of inhibitions, and many other nuggets of pure gold, my imagination took over and I was able to write! The other participants, whose work we all read and with whom we all exchanged feedback were an incredible group of mutually supportive people. I unreservedly recommend this wonderful course to anyone who wants to connect or reconnect with their creativity. Go for it!read more

Sometimes we scan information so quickly, often just moving on without too much thought. I nearly did when an advertisement popped up for The Writers’ Studio, Unlocking Creativity 4 week course. I’m so pleased that I allowed my fingers and mind to settle for a minute. The course provides a safe and fertile space for beginner to advanced writers to rediscover a love of imagination. You learn techniques and hints to overcome stagnation, build complex characters and basic story structure, all the time enjoying the process and having fun. Using the writers’ board during the course allows you to read, provide support and generous feedback to fellow participants, and it’s where your tutor gives enthusiastic and comprehensive reviews of submitted work. The course is very detailed and flies by too quickly. Many thanks to my most outstanding tutor Annie , without you encouragement I may never have signed for further courses with the Writers’ Studio. It’s truly wonderful!read more

I just finished the 4 week "Unlocking Creativity" live via Zoom "COVID version" :) It was great and allowed me to meet and interact with others which I would not have done otherwise as I would not have been able to go to the studio itself. I have done the online version years ago and that was great and very supportive also. My online tutor Owen was fantastic and gave clear and informative feedback as did my fellow writers. My Zoom tutor Richard was enthusiastic and very encouraging and pointed out strengths in our character writing as well as going over the process with us. It is a wonderful supportive environment, the writer's board being a "positive feedback" cocoon, the process itself a learning tool.I was terrified at the thought of putting work up alongside other fabulous writers but I pushed through and did it and it was an excellent experience. Doing the short meditation before writing is a great tool and it cleared the mind to let the imagination go. Even if you are not thinking of being a best seller but you enjoy putting pen to paper it is worth doing, It gave me confidence in myself and writing can be a great purger of baggage :)read more

Do you dream of writing a novel or screenplay? Are you too busy to attend classes? I recommend the Online First Draft course. It takes the mystique out of being an author and gets into the business of writing. Even with juggling family and work, I managed to complete a draft and was happily surprised with the ending. My tutor always encouraged me, saw things in my writing that I didn't see, and gave me plenty of ideas to think about. I put the publishing deadlines in my planner and told myself, "that's what real writers do," and made a commitment to finish. Ten months later and I can't wait till the Second Draft Course starts.read more

I recently completed "Unlocking Creativity" and would highly recommend this course. I have always aspired to write, but never really felt that I possessed the creativity. The course opened my eyes to the fact that this is something I can do if I just turn off my critical brain and trust in the process. I loved the Writers' Board and the fact that you give structured feedback to two peers every time you post means that you learn from others. Denise, the tutor, gave very specific, insightful and encouraging feedback. She is the consummate professional! I now feel excited by the possibilities of the blank page and will definitely sign up for another Writers' Studio course soon.read more

I'm so glad I found The Writers' Studio! I've just completed the Unlocking Creativity course, which exceeded all my expectations. I was amazed at the stories I was able to produce by following the lessons on scene creation and structure. My tutor and classmates provided invaluable feedback throughout the 4 weeks. I loved every minute! Now that I've found my lost writer's mojo, I'm going to keep the momentum going. I've just enrolled in the 10-Month First Draft course, which I'm sure will be life changing. If you're sitting on the fence about joining a course, my advice is to jump over!read more

The Writers Studio mantra is 'Trust the process, keep writing'. Following the prescriptive guidelines is freeing, it unleashes your creativity, does not crush it, takes the pressure off 'what do I do next?' Sharing your work with fellow students is heartening, you are not alone! Being open to and taking on board the nurturing encouragement and suggestions from your tutor validates your commitment. I've done all short courses and First Draft Online, signed up for Second Draft, and plan to keep going. I recommend, without hesitation, the courses offered here. It has helped me as a fledgling writer and enhanced my enjoyment of stories, reading or watching. Sign up, do the work, then celebrate your creations.read more

At first with trepidation and fear (Sounds silly I know) after all its only writing, yes? Well when my finger finally hovered over the submit to enrol, I was hesitating to tap the enrolment submit button and chickened out, twice.The third time, that small voice inside said, "Feel the fear and do it anyway." "OK, yes." I thought, and tapped submit!Immediately, "Oh no, what Have I done. I can’t do this."Then tossed that aside and said aloud in the kitchen whole making a cuppa, "Yes, I can. I can do it!" Not sure if I believed that at the time.And so, through the course I experienced ups and downs, sometimes nearly giving up. Then getting on with it regardless of my doubt. Writing exercise after exercise, often surprised by the helpful tutor feedback that kept me on track..At the finish of the course, on that last submission, I was excited, emotional and proud of myself for finishing the whole 10 month Online First Draft Novel Course!The truth is, I wish I'd found The Writers Studio years earlier.I have learned far more than I expected.I received valuable information with every step. The importance of story structure. How to flesh out characters. My online tutor was supportive and returned useful feedback on every submission. The entire Writers Studio Team are helpful, supportive and professional.As each week led to the next my original story idea has developed more than I ever could have done alone without the structure form and writing exercises. As a whole, the material provided educated me on how to write a valuable first draft as a base to further my story.Now, I am taking the next step, without hesitation, to the Second Draft Online Course to further develop my story. I'm excited and so looking forward to starting and finishing.read more

Anyone who wants to or is considering to be a writer will find no better place to start than the Writers Studio. As well as guiding you throughout the process in a nurturing environment, it teaches you the basics and the main elements of writing in a descriptive and encouraging manner. My tutor, Emily, was very informative and was always ready to give a helping hand and give you tips on how to use and improve your ideas on the page.The Unlocking Creativity course I took a part of showed a clear understanding of storytelling principles and concepts and challenged me to do my best with the work I came up with.Most enjoyable 4 weeks.

I would highly recommend the Writer’s Studio for anyone wanting to bring their writing dreams to life. After completing the Unlocking Creativity and First Draft Novel & Script courses online, I can now say I have written a first draft of the novel I dreamed of writing for years. The courses gave me a wonderful combination of practical strategies and tools, and enabled the gentle demolition of barriers to my creativity. The tutors are wonderful, supportive, and passionate professionals who go about the business of coaxing stories out of people in a sense-making yet magical way. I learned that by trusting the process of dancing between structure and creativity I could actually write my story.read more

I have just completed the onliine version of the 4 week Unlocking Creativity course. What an altogether wonderful experience.In terms of sitting down and actually writing, the deadlines imposed were extremely useful for me, and will help me firm up a writing “habit” moving forward. That will be useful as I am about to embark on the 10 month First Draft Course.The different “challenges” we were set each week allowed me to flex my creative muscle and let go of my inhibitions. The experience was incredibly liberating!!I loved having regular feedback from my tutor, Yasmin, and my writing cohort. What an amazingly talented group of writers they turned out to be, yet we were all so nervous and uncertain to begin with. I found reading their work inspiring, and watching the development of their work was encouraging. I know my work also has evolved, but more importantly, I now believe that I can write stuff that other people will enjoy or find compelling. I feel blessed to have shared this experience with such a generous group of people.I would thoroughly recommend this highly practical course to anyone who has a desire to write, but who is struggling with confidence, commitment, technique or finding the structure to make a story succeed.Thank you to The Writers' Studio. So glad I found you!read more

For me 'Unlocking Creativity' was the perfect introduction to writing - and as nervous as I was about posting my work for others to read, once gently led into the habit, it soon became less daunting - I even started to look forward to it! The interaction, through reviewing each other's work, was invaluable as a learning experience - as was the course structure, building on technique and discipline along with perceptive feedback from skilled and responsive tutors. For me, the course certainly lived up to its name - I found myself enrolling in the 'First Draft Online' - with no idea what i was planning to write, just a willingness and desire to keep going. The First Draft Online is well structured and expertly tutored (thanks Helen!). As someone who thought creativity may be hampered by 'structure' I am amazed at how beneficial the process has been - and how far my writing has come. Its not an exaggeration to say my first draft 'evolved', there was never a plot or a preconceived storyline. Thank you to everyone involved in these fabulous courses - I'm hoping to continue with 'Second Draft Online'.read more

An enlightening and transformative experience! Their prerequisite course, Unlocking Creativity, was motivating and inspirational. The online option was convenient and even more supportive and enjoyable than I'd anticipated. It was a revelation to tap into emotions, often long buried, and harness them in the creation of settings and characters. Unlocking my imagination took me down a lot of corridors I didn’t know were there! I gained invaluable skills and insights in relation to structure and character journeys.

So glad to say this was not the case. The groups are small with great support and honest feedback from both the tutor and the other participants.

I had enough confidence in the product the Writer's Studio offer, the quality of the staff and course materials, and in what I got out of doing the Unlocking Creativity (Online) course that I went ahead and made the time and monetary commitment to do the First Draft course later this year. If that doesn't speak to how worthwhile I found Unlocking Creativity, then I don't know what would.The environment is positive. The tutors are professional, prompt, and incredibly in depth and kind with their feedback. Special shout out to Rowena, my tutor for the 4 weeks of Unlocking Creativity, as she was exceptional. Your peers are not as scary as you think either! If you are the type of person who gets anxious sharing their work, you'll find this course helpful. The atmosphere is encouraging, and Unlocking Creativity is focused on nurturing your muse and giving it room to play, not scaring it away.This course is great for newbie writers, people who have fallen out of writing and want to get back into it, and established writers that are just looking for more writing to do! We had people from all walks of life and a pretty large age range of participants as well. So don't let that keep you from signing up. The course is engaging without being intimidating. It is encouraging without being overwhelming. It takes writing back to basics without feeling patronizing. I absolutely do recommend Unlocking Creativity if you have the time and money to invest in it.read more

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to write but when I try creativity remains elusive and writing isn’t easy.Then—wham!—I discovered the ‘Unlocking Creativity’ course run by the Writers’ Studio and what a find that was. Like holding the rarest, most precious diamond in my hand.Why do I say that? Tutoring about the craft and the process of writing—yes, there was that. Mentoring by an author knowing exactly how to make your writing shine—there was that, too. Sharing your writing with the tutor/mentor and with other attending writers—tick! Receiving positive feedback on strong writing, constructive criticism on weaker text and advice on how to improve it—tick!Many other writing courses offer the same or similar. What differs with the ‘Unlocking Creativity’ course is that it not only offers but gives what it promises, and in a nurturing environment! It teaches the way and shows the way to unlock creativity. And now, knowing how, my muse is all the happier for it. Where before I struggled to get the words out, now with just a breath my muse is ready and the words flow into a story. Not perfect, more roughly written and in need of later editing, but I’m all the happier for that!The ‘Unlocking Creativity’ course inspired me and gave me the confidence to believe in my writing ability. To connect with it and trust it to bring to vivid life the stories in my imagination.For so long, I’ve wanted to write. Now I can.read more
