What’s it like to learn with AWC?
Each year, thousands of students just like you achieve their writing goals through our courses and world-class presenters. Here they share how their new-found skills and confidence enriched their life.

Great content and covered a lot for 5 weeks. Lots of practical advice and feedback. It was a really enjoyable course.
Carli is a great instructor, very easy to talk to and approachable. We had a really good group; everyone was friendly and supportive. I enjoyed the idea development and feeding off not only Carli but the group.
It's given me the confidence I was lacking. I also now have a much better understanding of the industry.

I learned so much over the past 5 weeks! Carli was extremely generous with her time and knowledge. I enjoyed going through the readings and looked forward to our Tuesday evening classes. I appreciated her feedback and help with improving my writing skills.
It helped me find new ways of exploring my personal interest with food and food-related topics. Equally, Carli gave us the tools to go and pitch to publications on a deeper level.
I've always gotten a lot out of the AWC courses. After taking 3+ courses this year (and the Freelance Writing Masterclass), I'm developing more confidence in my abilities as a writer.

Carli was a joy to be taught by. Her knowledge was so generously shared with us all and she made me feel as if I could approach her about anything.
I really enjoyed the homework, funnily enough. And being able to send this work onto Carli for her feedback has been wonderful!
I feel so much more confident in going forward with my writing and pitching ideas to publications. And feel that I am definitely on the right track in pursuing this as more than just a hobby.
It has changed the way I feel about writing as well as injecting an extra dose of confidence within me that I didn't have beforehand.
The whole course really was so wonderful, and it brought me so much joy in what has been a challenging time. So thank you!

Carli was great. Her experience is evident and I enjoyed reading the articles she has had published.
Carli's tutelage and the group combined were all passionate and knowledgeable foodies!
I feel more confident about pitching my ideas and where to pitch to.

Carli was approachable, knowledgeable and helpful.
I enjoyed the relaxed but professional approach.
It's given me courage to go out there and write! A definite for all those seeking to move into food writing. Thank you! It was a wonderful 5 weeks!

Carli is very well informed and accomplished in the food writing arena, and she was very generous with her knowledge, tips, and insights. I enjoyed her personal knowledge of the industry.
It has given me the kick up the bum I needed. After losing traction in the travel writing field because of COVID, I've been in a bit of a writing funk. The course has given me renewed energy and determination - not just in the food writing sphere, but it's also encouraged me to get back in the saddle with travel writing.
I hadn't realised the market for recipe development and it's something I want to now explore further.
Very hands on and relevant courses; great tutors; great value for money. Being part of the graduate group after completion of the course is also important and attractive.
