Student success stories

We foster supportive groups of talented students. We're here to support you on your journey from first idea to final draft. Over 270 of our students have gained deals with major publishers. Some have written international bestsellers, others have won prizes, and yet more have gained representation with literary agents.

Celebrating 250 students with publishing deals

At the start of 2025, we were thrilled to reach the milestone of over 250 former students gaining commercial publishing deals. To highlight the achievements of our talented alumni, we hosted a free 'My Path to Publication' webinar. Click the button below to watch the recording.
