Recent feedback from a Faber YA student:

Writing YA was a fantastic course which I would highly recommend to anyone interested in writing, at whatever stage they are at in their journey. During the course of the 12 weeks I have grown in confidence through the feedback from the tutor and classmates. I have been able to develop an idea for, fully plan out and make a start on my novel, receiving encouraging and constructive feedback throughout. I feel we have built a supportive community that will continue to flourish after the course ends.
