"This is the best thing to ever happen to my writing career. I'm enjoying writing now. It makes sense. I have solutions to my problems." Christa Biyela ,Motivational Speaker, Executive Producer, Producer, Writer
"If I had attended it some five or ten years ago, so many things would have changed in my career, as well as life in general." Elelwani Ramaite-Mafadza, a lecturer at the University of Venda, as well as a researcher in the Indigenous Music and Oral History Project (IMOHP) and involved in the CUPP project which is a project involved in rural development
" I learned new practical things that I would not have found in books and it was an opportunity to ask questions and gain new insights. I left with a new zest for writing because I realised what my weaknesses and strengths are as well as mistakes I'm currently making that blocks my creativeness.You can interact with the trainer and get immediate clarification if something doesn't make sense." Yolanda McCabe , Freelance writer specializing in script- and screenwriting
"The workshop exceeded my expectations. I did not expect so much useful information to be made available to us. It was one of the best value for money workshops that I have attended - and fun too. I left with lots of useful information, a fist full of notes and a newfound interest in the movies as an art form." Sally Sinclair
