What they're saying about WriteClub:

WriteClub student - Jay
J M Joseph,

author of Fire Boy trilogy

Alison Powell of WriteClub is a writer’s dream, a reader who sees your story before you do, an editor with an ear for the rhythm of prose. Her notes helped me carve out the opening for Fire Boy, the novel that helped me find an agent and publisher. Her classes are a godsend for any writer looking for help and inspiration.

Alison is always encouraging, seems so genuinely invested in everyone taking part which was lovely. She created a warm, welcoming space which made showing up to take part very easy.
