Feedback from Thoughttree courses in York

Here's a sample of feedback from writers following our latest York writing course:

'I am so happy I have found this... even it being at night I find it to be so inspiring.'
'I have learned so much in such a short time and long to continue.'
'Really enjoyable course. Great practical exercises. I've learnt a lot.'
'I enjoyed the course as it broadened by imagination and I felt encouraged and it gave me more ways of writing differently.'
'I felt supported and that my ideas were helped and had positive feedback.'

We'll do some more then!

More Thoughttree Courses on the way!

At Thoughttree, we're delighted to report that our York based course looks set to run on until Christmas - and our monthly 'coffee and cake' workshops are oversubscribed! We're pleased that so many writers are now sharing in our stimulating writing sessions; watch this space for forthcoming workshops!

Just an aside... currently exploring the novel Jane Eyre.. the way the descriptive narrative shifts from idealised pastoral to magic/fairytale... becomes suffused with eldritch qualities... in other words, having fun!

All best, Ali and Deb
