“Just update on another success. My story for 6-9 year olds has been published on the BBC Bristol website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/content/articles/2006/03/30/as1_feature.shtml (by changing as1 to as2 then as3 and as4 you will see all four parts of the story)”

“I'm thrilled to have just received a letter from the editor of School Journal in New Zealand, accepting my story, Marama's Dog for publication! She says "It's a simply told and touching story, which will raise some interesting questions for young readers. I hope we'll see more of your work."
School Journal is read by primary school children in every school in New Zealand, and in some of the Pacific Islands, and is a respected, good-quality publication. I'm absolutely chuffed!
The payment is to be NZ$485 (about £168) for first publication rights, so that goes most of the way towards covering my course fees!
Thank you very much for your advice and support, which has made it possible for me to have a story published.”
G Fortune
“When I began the course, I think I liked the idea of writing more than the actual process. By the time I’d read the first module, I was inspired! Each segment has taught me so much. Writing has come alive for me. I am due to retire in January and my big ambition is to have my children’s book published.”
