“I got published!”: Bettina Deda

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.

Bettina says: 

After attending Nigel Bartlett's Writing about Interiors, Style and Design course in November 2014, I started hunting houses, writing pitches, and offering them to selected magazines. I wrote another house feature for Home Ideas, as they liked the first one. A couple of weeks ago, House & Garden commissioned me to write a house feature for them. So, a huge Thank You to Nigel for his tips and ongoing support!

Congratulations Bettina!
