Alexandra Toms

I would recommend this course to writers and those thinking about writing. What I particularly liked were the perceptive questions and short exercises in each module, which deepened my thinking about what I'm writing and why. This helped me with story structure and content, as well as gaining a better understanding of my own motivation.

Before this course, I was an impulsive writer — guided by instinct, but I'd often get bogged down in a dead end and not know what to do. Now I can see that developing a Blueprint allows for instinct and creativity while giving my story a coherent structure. For my next book, I'll be creating the Blueprint first."

"This course gave me a repeatable method I can use again on my next writing project, and I'd recommend it to any writer. My writing has changed since joining - I feel more free and more confident.

What shifted for me was joining the Free Thought Association and studying English literature - learning the history of the language and how it developed. Being part of this scholarship gave me an opportunity to understand more about storytelling."

"I'd like to publish my works — poetry and prose, short stories — and I hope to spread it all over the world."
