You can lookforward tolots of interactivity, practical outputs and fun from my writing courses, as I lovelearning through doing and giving you 1-2-1 feedback. You will learn how to be a better writer, a more versatile writer and a business savvy writer.
Hello, I'm Philippa, writer and businesspsychologist, with 30 years experience of freelance writing - author of 12 books, newspaper columnist, TV and radio scriptwriter and web editor.
The Times kindly serialised my non-fiction bestseller 'Irresistibility' while a self-published novel got made into a double Bafta winning TV film.
You could say that I'm fixated by how we use words with each other, which means I've coached Olympic Head Coaches, Oscar Winners, Prime and Cabinet Ministers in the UK and company directors at GE, NBC, Merck, BBC, and Universal Pictures. Now I work as web editor for FYI Network, and deliver workshops for universities and the UK National Union of Journalists.
But as a Brit who really doesn't like boasting I'd prefer to talk about you than me.
You'll like my courses, then, if you think that writing is much more important than many people realise, that a successful writer of today needs to have multimedia and marketing skills, and that one of most exciting feelings in the world is to express an idea cogently and have others say 'You truly made me think here' or 'You moved me here'.
Lovely to meet you, fellow writer, and I hope we chat further...

I'm wanting to learn how to create an outlet for my writing and Philipa does a good job of walking the student through the necessary step.

By Amy Linstrom on 10/17/2020

It's very informative, although I am not aspiring to write novels. I am more of a blogger and non-fiction writer.

By Beatriz on 10/12/2020

Gostei muito da proposta e do contedo apresentado no curso, tem muitas informaes teis que te fazem ir atrs da proposta por si prprio, s um adendo a quem no tem um ingls fluente: o curso tem legendas mas difcil acompanhar por elas, e tambm porque a professora tem sotaque britnico.

By Kacey Alvin on 8/20/2020

Each lecture focuses on a specific point on writing. So, it is easy to follow and improve my writing as I go along with the course lectures. I also appreciate Philippa's feedback on my responses to the exercises she gives in the lectures.

Course does not help overview Indian scenario. The contents could have been better.

By Ivan Cox on 8/4/2020

So far I feel motivation and look forward to the rest of the course!
I am half way through the course and it really has given me motivation to keep pursing this passion! I love that it makes my brain work!

By Ciara Saunderson on 6/27/2020

It's been insightful so far

By Idongesit Archibong on 6/27/2020

I didnt know this course was more about book writing. It is pretty informative though and would be nice for those interested this sort of writing. Im more of a copy writer/ web content writer, thats why I didnt find this course completely helpful.
