David was really intelligent, talented, interesting and warm. Very generous with his time and recounting his experiences, good and bad.

Small group size to enable questions and discussion, great and experienced presenter willing to share knowledge and experience and being with a group who all are interested in and passionate about writing. David was very experienced and knowledgeable, and very open and willing to share his stories from his career for us to learn from. I cannot speak highly enough of the courses I have done at AWC and the presenters for every course I have done. I would strongly encourage anyone interested in exploring writing for work or pleasure to undertake their courses.

David was an excellent presenter. He was very insightful, had an immense experience in this space and was very approachable in his style. Terrific. He brought the material to life and I walked away feeling like I understood the subject more and learned a lot from him. This course was sensational.

I enjoyed the way that David used his readings to demonstrate different aspects/tactics/methods etc of profile writing, as well as to give insight into his own processes. He was engaging, generous and candid. Extra points for sitting down to lunch with us afterwards and driving us out of towners to the ferry! AWC has a great range of courses that offer something for everyone, plus an introduction into a supportive community of writers.

I enjoyed David's skill and expertise in sharing his own story and the way he blended together skill development and anecdote ‚ Wonderful ‚ I could have listened for hours more.

The great experience and enthusiasm of the presenter, David Leser, for writing profiles was infectious ‚ fascinating and hilarious.

David is an expert and experienced professional who I could listen to and absorb info from for hours. I enjoyed learning about the process he used for different articles and his stories and examples.

It was great to gain insight from David's skill and expertise. He also shared his own story and the way he blended together skill development and anecdotes was wonderful. I could have listened for hours more.

David was a great presenter for the profiles course and I feel the hours went by too quickly. He was very prompt though at responding to questions.

The best thing about the course was hearing David's insights from his many years of interviewing people and writing profile stories. I particularly loved listening to his stories on how he went about interviewing Pauline Hanson and Alan Jones.

I also found it beneficial being part of a group, because the questions asked during the session helped with my learning.

Long since the course, I find the reminders from David come back when I am interviewing people for stories.

My profiles have subsequently been published in Lift Magazine; in Daily (South Australia); Aesthetics Practitioners Journal ; Age Point Triathlete Magazine ; Queensland Guidance and Counselling Newsletter.

The session was informative, and David's tips are easy to replicate. His insights will stay with me forever.
