I was so pleased to see the Writing Tree offering courses. I did two of the summer school mini-courses and enjoyed them both – they were friendly, no-pressure and got me back to writing after several years of writing block! Would definitely recomment.

Pulled together complex, detailed and sensitive information into a clear and concise report. Excellent communication and diligent work. Would recommend.

You didn’t just correct things and make suggestions, you held my hand through it all.

I’ve had writer’s block for years and this course finally broke it. The Writing Tree approach is very non-judgemental and gentle. I learned how to enjoy my writing again.

I took a Writing Tree course through my local online writing group, and then came to Helen for mentoring. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Helen was very understanding and accomodating of my disability, and helped me to work out new writing habits that worked with my variable energy. She always seems to have fresh ideas to help when I’m stuck! The session was about character work which my group thoroughly enjoyed. If I had to sum up the Writing Tree I’d say ‘infectious enthusiasm’ and ‘highly knowledgeable’!

I’d been stuck with my writing for years; I wrote most of a first draft of a novel five years ago but never knew what to do with it. Helen and her team got me back on track with patient advice and encouragement and a really helpful, supportive develompental edit. Can’t thank you enough!
