What Writers Say About The Winter Almanac:
‘As always a huge variety of beautifully crafted and exciting prompts. I love the example poems, they are so varied and inspiring... The prompt itself examines and suggests ideas in a really helpful way, but also you don't feel tied down by it. The image and the music are fun, and sometimes just tip you into a different way of doing it. I always get a huge amount from Angela's 30 day challenge. ’ — J. Wheeler, UK
‘Be prepared to be taken out of you comfort zone - in the nicest possible way - and enjoy the experience, the collegiate atmosphere, the sense of engaging in a collective enterprise, the growth in the number of drafts, the positive vibes associated with writing every day and the feedback from supportive colleagues all embracing a new adventure. — M. Kelleher, UK
‘Despite the fact that I have a Masters in Creative Writing (Poetry) I find external stimulus and encouragement gets me writing and without it I tend to slide. So the daily prompt is the centre point of my writing day. It has encouraged my creative streak, trusting my first thoughts and going with them. Learning to separate the writing from the censoring is always useful and the daily prompt gives that space.’ — C. Peters, UK
‘The challenges were brilliantly constructed and ideas were begging to be written. You will have more ideas than ever before, you will write every day, you will lave with a sheaf of new poems.’ — A. Harte, UK
‘A brilliant poetry course for those who like me suffer from self-doubt and agonise too much. This wonderful course makes each day a new beginning - you can shrug off past failure and try again. ’ — V. Bedham, UK
‘A daily cornucopia of poetic stimuli - fascinating facts, images, a wide range of poetic voices - each mailing felt like labour of love, compiled with real thought & energy, and consequently very engaging to work with. Even on days when not immediately struck by a theme there was always a hint or tip that hooked my imagination. I found it a valuable kick start to my writing journey this year.’ — P. Erskine, UK
