Recommendations

"I can't speak highly enough of the short story writing course I took with Anna Reynolds. I came to her with enthusiasm but little by way of experience. By the end, not only did I have the basic building blocks for writing a story but was better able to deconstruct my own writing, weeding it of the dreaded adverbs and cliches, all the pitfalls of the novice writer. The stories I wrote with Anna's guidance are what led to my acceptance on an MA course in Creative Writing and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to take their writing seriously.
