Testimonials

Hannah and Will created an atmosphere which made me—and I think everyone—feel safe and accepted. In the class, I felt appreciated and valued, and overall it was one of the most positive workshops I have ever attended. Also, Hannah and Will are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met – always giving a positive energy.
Amjad Mestarehi, founder of Garage Cutural Centre, Jordan
Will & Hannah create a convivial atmosphere where you feel at ease to immerse yourself in writing. They are always ready to provide tips and know-how from their experience as professional authors to help aspiring writers.
Dr. Rayna Rosenova, Lecturer, English Literature
I loved the online workshop I took part in with a varied and interesting group of writers. Hannah and Will are engaging, experienced teachers and mentors who make you feel welcome, relaxed and motivated. I was able to break through a big writing block during one short session.
Jo Bradshaw, Writer
Wind&Bones opened me up to a whole different mode of writing, which is so intimate and rewarding. It has given me another entry point into fiction and a better way to understand myself through writing about my own life. Hannah and Will are nothing but nurturing and warm - you immediately trust them with writing that’s incredibly personal and vulnerable. The course felt deeply transformative.
Haralambi Markov, Freelance marketing and content writer
I count this as one of the best decisions in my writing career. Will & Hannah are experts in the craft and know-how to teach essential techniques. But most importantly, they put you in the right mindset: directing you to your own thoughts, your own observations, and ultimately your own voice. They are brilliant teachers and wonderful people!
