What they told us
"I
am thrilled to announce that I have won two major awards in the
Rockingham Short Fiction awards. I took your advice and you can see the
results." Sonia Bellhouse, Armadale, W. Australia.
"You
suggested a simple alteration to one of my stories. Today I learned it
won Second Prize in the Erewash Writers Christmas Chillers competition."
Brian Lux, Llandudno, Wales.
"[Following your critique], I won the Takahe Cultural Studies competition for my story Ross. I also put this down to your lessons. They have raised the quality of my writing." Gun Caundle, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
"I'd been trying to place my novel Killing Daniel
for years and had lost a lot of heart but [your critique of its first
chapter] kept me going. I sent it to Unthank and it was published last
month." Sarah Dobbs, Manchester. "I’ve
been using techniques you’ve taught us and, as a result, have gained
rave reviews from my critique group and mentor. I’ve been blown away by
the feedback you gave. In fact, on the last one I sent you, your
suggestions were so powerful, I wanted to pack up my whole [novel] and
send it to you. So thank you, again and again!" Lori Norman, Palm Beach, Florida. "I
[took your advice] and subsequently won the Circalit short story
competition and now my story has been published by Ether Books. I'd
recommend Writers' Village as both a motivational and learning tool."
Warren Glover, Woollahra, Australia. "Worth every penny. It helped me to revise my other writings
and to improve the one I submitted. I had generous after-sales service
too." Margaret Dunn, Gillingham.
"The Academy
has inspired me in many ways and kept me going in those dark times when
writing just seems too difficult. I thank you for what is, to me, the
best site on the net." Keith Smith. St Etienne Sur Usson, France. "John
is beyond generous in his support and his
cogently argued materials provide plenty of food for thought. He suggests hints, tricks and little "rules" about which I wasn't even aware." Richard Gibney, Dublin.
"Tremendously helpful. The specific information and suggestions for
improvement that you gave me were absolutely spot on. A big thank you."
Tracey Hughes, Bere Regis. "You
have given me some excellent advice to think about and put into
practice and I just wanted you to know that I am very pleased with it."
Lucie Kavanagh, Co Mayo, Ireland. "My
involvement with the Academy has lifted my writing to the next level.
It's also fun, when I read a really terrible book, to understand exactly
why it's so terrible!" Kay Ellis. Lancashire.
'The Writer's Village
Academy is not only brilliantly straightforward and convenient but
also personal. John is both practical and gentle in his feedback, and
very timely in his responses. I thought I knew my stuff - I've taught
English for 8 years! - but I've been guided and inspired by his lessons, examples and exercises.' Melissa Kay, Gloucester. |

- Free bonuses galore - novels, videos, useful links, manuals plus access to an exclusive Forum where you can exchange writing ideas with fellow members.

expert advice one-to-one, by email, on your most pressing writing

So what's unique about the Academy?
Unique... I’ve distilled the winning craft techniques of more than 267 best-selling authors into simple how-to-do-it templates. Nobody
has done that before - at least, nobody with a lifetime of publishing
success who holds a PhD in creative writing. It means you get, not
long-whiskered theories, but strategies that work. Unique... I’ve devoted my past four years to giving in-depth critiques of more than 3500 short stories submitted in my university classes and to the Writers’ Village contest. With that hands-on experience, I can show you - precisely - how your stories and novels can be enhanced to publication standard. Plus how you can win big cash prizes in story competitions. Unique... It took me four years of doctoral research to discover, in step by step detail, the hidden
tactics used by top authors to write stories that sell. Many have never been revealed before. I’ve condensed them into ready-to-use plans you can apply at once. |
“I want to really thank you for offering these important lessons! I've
taken quite a few writing classes on line, and these are really extraordinary. Every one of them gives me an 'a ha!' moment. They ring so true and really distill important concepts into easy to understand sessions.” Kim Offenburger, Kentucky.
