“The Complete Creative Writing Course got me writing again after years of horrible block. The wisdom and sensitivity of the teachers is exceptional. I’ve now got a published novel thanks to Maggie Hamand’s encouragement and insight. I’d recommend her courses to anyone who seriously wants to write.”
Jennifer Nadel was an experienced broadcast journalist who attended a number of CCWC courses and then went on to take an MA in Creative Writing at Goldsmiths where she is now studying for a PhD. Her first novel, Pretty Thing, is published by Corsair (Little, Brown). Set in the sweltering hot summer of 1976, Pretty Thing is a powerful coming-of-age novel, a story of first encounters, lost hope and last chances. It pits true love against real life and asks: is love really all you need?
