Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Without formal experience in writing I’ve lacked the confidence which heightened my fear of failure. Thank you.

Excellent course. The tutor speaks clearly and at a modest speaking pace. Very much enjoying this new learning. The course is covering elements I had previously never thought about, and these elements will now become a part of my writing which I am sure will be beneficial.
