What our students say…
Signing up for WLAG in 2019 was the best decision I’ve made for my writing practise! Before then, I had started so many novels and short stories but never finished anything. WLAG gave me permission for the first time to take my creative practise seriously. I learnt lots of practical tips to inform my writing, but most importantly I learnt how essential it is to see writing as playing, and to silence my inner critic.
I still do my brief daily sessions (almost every day) and managed to finish short stories, with one published in Dear Damsels. I also worked on my first finished novel, The Ways We Make It Here, during the second and third course of WLAG and it got me my wonderful agent.
Kerry is such an encouraging teacher and she builds friendly and safe communities. I still speak to many of the grrrls from the courses and the retreats are much-valued boosts to my creativity.
WLAG is all about giving yourself permission to be a writer and I wouldn’t have the confidence to call myself one without the amazing courses.
“Kerry Ryan’s Write Like a Grrrl workshops were perfectly pitched, informative, inclusive, and empowering. Kerry creates a non-threatening space to explore our ideas and produce valuable work in class. Her teaching style is informal and supportive – exactly what we need.”
“I really enjoyed Kerry’s writing workshops. She created a conducive atmosphere for writing, making it friendly and collaborative. It was also a good mixture of practical exercises and useful advice. I would definitely attend a course run by Kerry again.”
“The course was fantastic. Without Kerry’s great lesson on ‘How to start writing and keep going’ I would not be writing at all, but I have now managed to do so regularly for the last year.”
“Kerry was an incredible tutor! She was supportive, encouraging and fun. I loved the fact that everything was up for discussion and she never talked down to us. She created a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The course was also so well structured, really easy to follow and never felt daunting or difficult. She was just brilliant!”
