Writers Bureau...

[IronOrchid]

Anyone started/completed/attempted the Writer's Bureau course? Haven't even started assignment one despite registering over a year ago. Suspect I've wasted a wodge of a dough, but keen to get stuck in so don't feel a complete lazyarse/tit.

Any fellow sufferers out there?

I paid up many years ago pre internet but the hassle of posting everything off, and not having interaction online with other students meant I gave up very quickly. Do you get access to a forum for discussions now?

The course looked good on paper and I still refer to the course material from time to time.

It was such a scam in my opinion. The good news is you can still write a book and get published without ever completing the wretched course

Oh, I do sympathise. I'm supposed to be doing an online qualification (totally different subject, related to my day job, which may well be the problem) and despite paying up, I have totally failed to do any of the reading, assignments, etc, ever. Meanwhile another friend has conscientiously done the lot, come through with a distinction, and has moved onto the next level...
