Curtis Brown Creative Recenzje 

The course was good quality, well taught, with helpful professional feedback. They were also easy to get in touch with if I had a problem and responded promptly.

I have taken a number of CBC courses in the past and found them all invaluable. My current experience relates to the Character Development Course and I have found this to be particularly excellent. The materials provided are comprehensive and include clear guidance for how the suggestions can be incorporated into your own work. The forum works really well as a means to connect with other writers, receiving and giving feedback - and it is here that the tutor also provides some feedback to a couple of writers each week. Anthony, the tutor on the course I am on at present, provides reassurance and always gives points which are specifically actionable. I could see an immediate difference in my writing after taking his points on board. I would highly recommend CBC to anyone who is serious about improving their own writing.

Great course, would highly recommend. I learnt so much, made new friends and will be taking another as soon as I can fit it in.

Despite hearing glowing reviews of Curtis Brown Creative, I wasn't sure how well a long online course would work. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get selected, and it was excellent. Very well structured, very thorough in the ground it covered, and brilliant at creating a really active and supportive forum where the 15 participants shared their work. The development of a community between the 15 writers is the course's most important contribution to participants.... but I have to give a shout out to our two tutors. Simon Ings brought brilliant insights, humour, and technical expertise to his management of our workshops, and to the one on one tutorials. Lisa O'Donnel was amazing, with her encyclopaedic knowledge of storytelling across novels, films and TV, and was very generous with her thoughts, advice and time. There were a few admin hiccups and I feel that forums should be monitored a bit more closely for questions, but that's a minor quibble and overall I thought this course delivered all it said it would and much more. I am still in touch with all the writers and a tutor, which says a lot for its lasting impact.

I'd really recommend the Curtis Brown Creative online courses. I recently completed Creative Writing for Beginners. It's a great way to 'dip your toe in the water of online courses' without a costly commitment of money and time.

What I love most about the experience is the opportunity to work with my peers while learning. The readers also make a sterling contribution. Without those two factors, this would be like learning from a fairly good textbook with some video lectures to back it up. With them, this becomes something much more useful.

Great courses, great resources, excellent feedback. If you are thinking about it, stop and sign up. You absolutely will not regret it.

Enjoyable and engaging poetry course with great tech back up to resolve any minor issues.

The videos and written advice are very helpful - but it is the interaction with your fellow writers in the group that provides the best feedback. The only issue is that you cannot offer constructive criticism (only positive) - and I would have preferred others to be honest about my work. (rather than tell me how good I was!)
There is little or no interaction with the people who run the course which is a huge let down. I often wondered if they even existed - I phoned and emailed Curtis Browne half a dozen times and they only replied to one of my queries.
They also shut down the course / closed our forum without warning.
I was considering taking a further, more expensive course with them as I'd like to take my writing to the next stage - but if the feedback and one to one advice is not there then I really need to find another creative writing company.

Brilliant course. Fellow students and CBC readers were so encouraging and completely non-threatening. The tasks enabled me to work on my unfinished MS and it is now almost finished. Thoroughly recommend them.

Notwithstanding that the tutor was different from the course creator, the number of participants exceeded 25 despite advertising group limits of 15 and no actual commentary from the tutor, not even once in my case, (indicating a highly selective approach), the individual participants' responses were hugely encouraging and delightful. Despite the title "historical fiction", the teaching material was fairly standard creative writing material - not bad as such - with the word "historic" included and little, if any, particular reference to historical writing as a creative writing speciality.

I've just completed the six week Writing a Psychological Thriller course, and cannot recommend it highly enough. Very reasonably priced, fantastic and well structured content by Erin Kelly, thought provoking weekly tasks, and a brilliant environment to write in - the support, encouragement and feedback from my fellow students was wonderful. I also found the CBC team to be prompt and helpful if I needed anything.

I recently left a glowing comment for Curtis Brown regarding the historical fiction course they run. Part of the fee involved a 500 word report on concluding submission, this was supposed to have been received by 14 April, to date inspite of a number of voicemails and emails I have received nothing, not terribly impressed.

A really great course, ideal for anyone writing a thriller. The modules are clear and concise, interesting and engaging, and you get to put theory into practice with constructive advice and criticism from both fellow writers and CBC staff. Excellent value for money.

An excellent company doing a great course. Very helpful and friendly! Worth the money.

I have just completed one of Curtis Brown's 6 week online courses - Writing a Psychological Thriller - and would recommend to anyone whose considering writing in this genre. Great tutor, good tasks and course content and feedback from other students.

Really good. I have done two courses with Curtis Brown and got a ton out of each; I've also since received multiple offers of representation. My only criticism was it would be great to have more of a formal alumni chat room, as I feel this was a bit of a missed opportunity and one of my observations is that the kind of people on these courses are so very supportive. I would have loved to have chatted with people in the other courses that ran concurrently this summer and would gladly have paid for access etc. Just a thought!

Very good course and good online content and interaction. I feel compelled to continue with confidence in my projects. Well worth the investment, of time and money, in such a specific genre and focus. Great job.

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to the running of this course. It's been a rich and rewarding springboard into writing thanks to the content and the experience you've delivered. Stonking value for money too. I recommend it highly!

The teaching modules progress like a carefully constructed narrative. They sweep you relentlessly forward, teaching you every step you need to take to reach those words, "The End." And each week, the insights you gain from fellow students, as well as those you make yourself of their novels, prove just as invaluable to the experience.
