"I got published!": Carla Francis

We love hearing from our students no matter what they have to say, but when we hear of a student being published, we just want to shout it from the rooftops! We’re a little scared of heights, so we’ll go with a blog post instead.

Carla says:

Hi Everyone!

I am very happy as my story (which I wrote on the online course) has been published in One Page Literary Magazine.

Thanks to Cathie Tasker for her advice.

The online creative writing course helped me find a voice and use dialogue in a more entertaining way.

I had been used to writing non-fiction but Cathie pushed me to develop my writing to be more creative – thank you!

Congratulations Carla! Wanna read what she wrote? Check out Carla's article here!
