I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the zoom workshop on The Art of Writing Award Winning Short Stories with a bursary place. I would also like to thank Susannah for the invaluable feedback she gave me regarding my short story writing. For many years, I have faced a…

I have been trying to get my novel completed for the last 5 years having started it 10 years ago. Despite re-writes and getting feedback etc I must have been over it more than 30 times. The seminar with Emma Darwin was outstanding. It’s the best event I have attended and made total sense! So many…

Thank you so much for Saturday. It was an inspiring day, especially the evening, and the timing was perfect for me as I get back into writing after my summer break. I felt very lucky to be in the company of so many talented writers, and I thought you did a fabulous job hosting the…

Just a quick note to thank you so much for yesterday. It was wonderful to meet you and the workshop was fantastic! I very much enjoyed the exercises and meeting all the other attendees.

The quickest of notes to say ‘thank-you’ for a very enjoyable and very useful session last night.  I should also say it was great value for money!  I’ve emailed, said the same thing to Emma Darwin, but for you and BPA to initiate, organise, and host such an event is extraordinarily supportive for new writers.…

I’m really enjoying these and a great way to stay ‘connected’ with a writing community so thank you so much for keeping them coming!

Thank you for another brilliant session. All three of the presenters at the retreat have been such high quality.  I had high expectations but they have gone beyond those expectations.  Thank you so much for all your hard work putting the weekend together.
