The Proofreading and Copy Editing course

I've recently finished the Writers' Bureau proofreading/copy editing course. This is certainly worthwhile as an initiation to these skills and I found the tutor's feedback and guidance to be just as valuable as the actual coursework. Thank you very much!

Had to give a star rating to ask question. I have a lot of ideas and have written a few short stories but when I read them back they seem flat and boring. Would this course help me?

What a big let down?

Half way through the course it got very boring, unchallenging and monotonous so I stopped doing it.

Thank you for your review, Pam.

As per recent correspondence, we are sorry that you have found the non-fiction assignments not to your liking. We did offer the opportunity to move onto the fiction assignments but if these are still of no interest to you, there are further options available.

An advisor will be in touch shortly to discuss these.

Honest And Sincrere Feedback for my best institution ever- The Writers Bureau.

The Writers Bureau is definitely the best and genuine institution anywhere around the world that is capable of turning a potential writer into a real writer. This is my honest opinion which I feel I must give for this wonderful institution that in just a short five months, has made me understand that writing is just a skill and so long as you have the talent you can write without the much sought after academic credentials,which may be an important added advantage for a writer but clearly not a necessity.I have been taking the creative writing course since March this year and I can confirm that The Writers Bureau is equal to the task.

However the downside of this marvelous institution may lie in the way those charged with the responsibility of its administration handle students like myself who have a passion for writing but who are not well endowed as yet in making prompt payments for their course studies,due to financial constraints. I have previously felt harrassed and humilated by the responses I have been getting in mails from the Writers Bureau because I could not pay my fees in time and because the same are in areas of about three months. Currently I'm fearful of making any enquries about anything concerninig writing lest I receive a humbling response which may turnout to be a discouragement from what I initially sought to achieve from my training. And this has got nothing to do with the tutors whom I believe are doing an excellent job and have huge talents, potential, knowledge and experience to take the institution to the next level and ensure that The Writers Bureau stays at the top when it comes to tapping the potential of writers around the world.

Thank you most sincerely.

Thank you for your review Daniel and for your comments on the course.

Our organisation doesn't receive government funding, meaning we rely on the fees that students pay to cover our costs, such as paying tutors, the cost of creating and updating courses, postage etc. When a student does not keep to the payment plan they chose on enrolment but continues to submit assignments, it means the cost of the service provided to them can exceed the fees paid depending on how far into their course they are.

When a student faces financial difficulty we try to be as understanding as possible and offer options such as payment breaks and the option to split payments over a longer period. We ask that students keep us up to date in all situations so we can continue to offer support and make changes where necessary. Students do receive an automated email from our website to inform them when a payment fails and this contains instructions on how to update card details and how to contact us if they are facing issues. Further contact is only made when these reminders are ignored or when a student doesn't contact us in response to the email sent.

If a student has asked us to reschedule their payments and still cannot make a payment on the date arranged, we ask that they let us know beforehand so we can look into further options. We are a very understanding organisation and unlike most, do not charge late fees or amendment fees when a student isn't able to make a payment on time.

If a student continues to miss payments then we may have to pause marking on their assignments, but we do explore further options of rearranging payments before doing so.

We hope you continue to enjoy your course.

So far so good

I haven't been that long with The Writers Bureau. However, I find the course well designed and structured. Lots of tips and constructive advise and loads of information. I enjoy the assignments because they are inspiring, broaden the imagination, make you think beyond your comfort zone, I believe that is important for any writer.

I like the tutor, always helpful and positive. I feel comfortable to communicate with her.

I enjoyed the course. It is wonderful to have the chance to study from distance in my own time with a tutor. The responses from her as well as from the Students Center were very quick and useful. I am glad that I studied with Writers Bureau. I received plenty of advice and guidance.

Poor service and attitude

Poor service and attitude. Contacted months after starting demanding extra payment because I was allegedly under charged. Felt intimidated into paying with threat of court and bailiffs.

Resposta da The Writers Bureau

We're very disappointed to read this review and surprised by the statement made. We would like to look into this matter further; if we have made a mistake in not charging a student the correct fees then we would not chase them for the outstanding balance, we would waive the remaining fee.

We make every effort to contact a student directly to discuss any outstanding balances on their account and it is usually only after several attempts have been made without response that we proceed with further action.

Students have two years from the date of enrolment in which to complete their course and whilst assignments can be submitted at any point during this period, if a student has opted to pay for their course in instalments then all payments must be made on the dates agreed unless an alternative arrangement has been made with either Student Services or our Accounts department. Payments run on a particular schedule and students should not deviate from a set plan without first discussing this with us.

If we have made a mistake then we would like to try and rectify this. Please contact us directly on 0161 819 9922 or at studentservices@writersbureau.com and a member of staff can look into this for you and resolve the issue.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. My tutor, Esther Chilton, provided constructive and extremely encouraging feedback and was always prompt with marking. The assignments took me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to see what I can achieve.
The marketing modules were an eye-opener, making me realise the importance of taking responsibility for raising my own profile. I now have a better understanding of how to market my work and feel confident enough to move forward.

Professional writing made easy

I've been enrolled with The Writers Bureau for the past 5 months and am very happy with the overall experience. The modules and assignments are designed with 'real-world' feature writing and publication in mind. My tutor's advice and feedback is timely, honest and highly constructive. If you want to write professionally, this course is the place to start. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend the Creative Writing…

I highly recommend the Creative Writing course, the course material provided together with the knowledge and experience of my tutor is first class. Anyone looking to take the course, please don’t join under the illusion that it will be easy, success is achieved by a combination of hard work and application. Having only started the course in April, I am on track to receive payment for articles published, that will cover the cost of the course. Thank you Writers Bureau.

The Comprehensive Creative Writing course is demanding, very profitable, but somewhat dated

The Comprehensive Creative Writing course is proving demanding and, for that very reason, also very profitable. I find the material somewhat dated, however: we don't need all that stuff on paper and much of it is common knowledge. Also, the idea of writing unsolicited filler or feature articles for various magazines isn't the way most such publications operate these days, so the exercises caused me a great deal of unnecessary headaches.

Thank you for your review and for your feedback on the course, Viktor.

We are actually in the middle of reviewing areas of the course that are in need of updating and try to do this as often as is necessary.

Fillers aren't as popular as they used to be but are still used by many magazines. Tools such as Readly, Issuu and the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook are great for finding different markets. You will find that those available in your local area may be quite limited, so apps like these can really help to discover new markets.

I am really enjoying the new experience…

I am really enjoying the new experience in writing with Andy Ellis as my Tutor. Having a science career with no real education in writing I have probably missed a lot of thoughts and experience how to enjoy writing. I have written some letters and am exploring how to write articles being guided on how to get the balance right which is not easy for novices I know. Guidance is leading me in a good way.

The Writer’s Bureau has really helped me with my confidence issues. My tutor, David Kinchin, has been an excellent guide and mentor during the course. David has challenged me with his feedback and provided encouragement and constructive criticism where needed. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who needs that extra fine tuning, or guidance regarding their fledgling career.
