    I'd steer clear! I thought it would be a great idea, thought the money back thing would be great but it ended up being so impossible to complete that I gave up. I tried to pick it up again recently, I wrote an article, sent it off and the tutor was amazingly critical, so much so that it made me cry as it was a very personal article that I had written. I opted then never to write again for them as it was just so rude.

    I still have all the books taking up space and I keep thinking about just flogging them on ebay. I did sign up about 8 years ago so maybe then it was the only viable option but now there are so many good sites where you don't have to pay I'd advise you check out some of them instead.

    Most local adult learning places offer creative writing courses so it may be worth looking in to that before signing up to WB. Writing is a personal thing though, so what I'd really say is you need to think about the best environment for you to work, learn and write in!
