What Emanda's students say

I appreciated Emanda's approach to discussing our work. Every time it felt like I had learnt something, been pushed that bit further forward, and I never felt in the least discouraged or that I was attempting something beyond my abilities.

Emanda is great and I think that was a huge part of why I enjoyed the course. Her enthusiasm and engagement with students was very motivational for me.

Emanda was a delight. She knows her stuff and also has a wonderful sense of humour. Her feedback was thorough and thoughtful and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to guide me through the first steps of my creative writing journey.
