Julia Bell was absolutely fantastic.
Excellent course with Julia. Tasks that drew us into writing and were enjoyable sessions, well paced and made good use of her surroundings.
I was incredibly impressed with Julia; the teaching was perfect.
Julia Bell is an extraordinary writing teacher. Not only because she can truly find ways to guide you but due to her innate capacity to hold the space and treat every participant equality. She is an outstanding listener and finds a unique way to help everyone who wants to work at their writing.
Excellent, inspiring sessions. Offered lots of extravagant and useful feedback.
