The course is very comprehensive and informative. It covers many areas of writing including non fiction and fiction. My tutor is a published author and I always receive feedback that is detailed and helpful. I can submit my assignments by email or post and it's good to have the choice.

On the whole worth it

Some of the course material and the assignements have been very helpful to me. They have challenged me and given me good ideas as to how to think through and plan stories. However, the feedback to assignments is pretty minimal and my limericks didn't win the limerick competition despite being considerably better than those that did!

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

We would assume comments on your assignment have been minimal due to your grades- your tutor obviously thinks that you are doing well based on the grades awarded. If you feel you require further expansion on your tutor's comments, I am sure she would be happy to oblige. You are welcome to contact her directly.

We hope you enjoy the remainder of the course.

Great support

I completed the Proofreading and Copy Editing Course earlier this year, with excellent support from the tutor. Full, comprehensive responses to my submissions, with a friendly attitude.

I am now considering further study.

The Best Writing Course You Can Ever Have

I have received The Writers Bureau prospectus for over 10 years now and they have been consistent in following me up.

Even when I moved to another city and changed address they still reached me.
I don't live in Europe. I live in Nigeria, Africa and I find it so endearing of you to be this committed to someone you guys haven't even encountered yet.

I'm still interested in your course. It's over 10 years now and I still want to do your copywriting course. I wish there was some kind of scholarship program on this, because I would have done it long ago if I could afford it.

I believe I'll be your student soon, because I won't live my life without doing this course.

You have captured my heart.

Proofreading and Copy-Editing Course

A very good introduction to the world of proofreading and copy-editing. The course materials were clear and engaging, and feedback from my tutor always prompt and constructive. Great to receive my certificate at the end of the course!

Not perfect but pretty good

I found some errors in the course - proofreading errors.
I felt that module 7 was very outdated, teaching us what a PDF is etc.

Thank you for your review, Maddy.

We do appreciate your comments on Module 7 but our courses are written with quite a broad audience in mind. We have many students enrolled in this course who have had little to no experience with the computer programmes mentioned so whilst you may already have had knowledge of programmes, others may not be quite so fortunate.

If you would like to provide further comment on the errors that you have found, please email studentservices@writersbureau.com.

We wish you the best of luck in your new career.

Totally uninspiring Website and advert

I read about this course in an advert from one of the 'broadsheet' newspapers' magazine supplements. There was a box which listed a FREEPOST postal service to request a prospectus, but nowhere in the advert was there an address.
On the website, there was an address, as well as a Freephone telephone number (to be fair this was also on the advert), which I rang.
The person who answered it had the personality of a vacuum. He didn't seem to be interested in me, or why I was calling. When I said that I wanted to order a prospectus he asked for which course. Neither the advert, or, on a quick glance the home page, was there listed anything other than your creative writing course. On asking what other courses there were his reply was, 'Lots.' He did, however, offer to send out a prospectus for every course.
After the phone call I looked at the homepage again. I then discovered the 'Other Writing Courses' button. It wasn't at the top where logic says that it should be (alongside 'About Us'; 'Student Stories'; 'Expert Opinions'), but below the 'Enrol Now'; Student of the Year testimony; 'Creative Writing FAQs'; 'Student Community' and 'The Association of Freelance Writers' buttons. Not an exactly eye-catching place to put what you do. Remember the homepage is where you should 'sell' your wares without difficulty to the prospective customer -
The whole web-site looks dated and completely uninspiring and, in my opinion, reflects the attitude of the telephone operator.
Not a great introduction to what you are trying to sell.

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry that you have had a poor experience with the call centre. The role of the advisors at the call centre is to process enrolments and prospectus requests, but all other queries are usually passed through to Head Office, where our Student Services team can assist with questions about our courses. If our office is not open at the time of the call, our number and opening hours are usually provided. We would like to look into this further- would you mind contacting us at studentservices@writersbureau.com with further information on when you called, and perhaps the name of the person you spoke to?

Thank you for your feedback on our website. We do regularly review our website and make changes where necessary based on feedback received.

Should you still be interested in our courses, you would be welcome to call Head Office and speak to one of our advisors on 0161 819 9922. Office hours are Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm and Friday 9am-3pm.

Proofreading and Copy Editing

My certificate went astray but another has been sent out and will hopefully be with me soon. The course opened my eyes into proofreading and copy editing - I previously thought it was just a case of making sure there were no spelling mistakes! I have used my new skills at work already.

Personal Overview of The Writers Bureau

I have enjoyed my experience using The Writers Bureau. This is a service providing a range of courses and services for every level of budding writer from novice to experienced, on a range of subjects from poetry, novel-writing to radio and TV.

Everything worthwhile is hard work and there have been times when I lapsed into self-doubt. But my tutor and the online student services helpdesk were brilliant, encouraging and advising me when needed, and answering all my questions in a straightforward and non-judgemental way.

As the 5-star rating says, I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to any aspiring writer.

Proofreading and copy-editing course

Course material was excellent and easy to follow. Marking and suggestions from tutor were prompt and extremely helpful. As an entry point course to the industry of proofreading and copy-editing it is great.

The Writers Bureau is ten out of ten.

The Writers Bureau is ten out of ten in my book. The Comprehensive Creative Writing Course has taught me so much my output has improved 1000 fold. I couldn't be happier. The support I've received is second to none.

The Writers Bureau - A school to beat!…

It's needful for such noble institution as The Writers Bureau to issue multipurpose or general identity cards or badges to its bonafide students or candidates, owing to growing extreme checks and probes into one's identity when one is researching or interviewing respondents or people for assignments. And it is never too late to start executing such policy now. I have suffered undue restrictions and ill interrogations in the line of duty (Writers Bureau assignments).

For all this, no matter how much you know, there is still more know (learn). Experienced or inexperienced, the best school to hone you and bring the best out of you is The Writers Bureau!

Thank you for your review, Gem.

There are several reasons why we have not issued student ID cards before now, but it is an idea that we revisit frequently. There are issues we need to consider (such as those who may return their course in the free trial but not their ID card) before we can put the idea into practice.

Students in the UK are able to sign up for an NUS card which shows they are a student, and we are currently seeking an overseas alternative.

If you do find that you are struggling, you can always sign up to The Association of Freelance Writers. Members are issued with an ID card that shows they are a freelance writer. Further details can be found here: http://bit.ly/2fvdqC3
