I recently completed the Professional Certificate in Creative Writing (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a Danish writer, I was looking to improve my writing skills and learn more about the craft of creative writing, and this course provided me with a comprehensive and well-structured program of study. The module on writing for different audiences was particularly useful, as it helped me to think more critically about my writing and how to tailor it to specific readers. I also appreciated the opportunity to receive feedback on my writing from my peers, which was constructive and helpful in improving my work. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more examples of Scandinavian literature, but overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to writers looking to advance their skills.
