I'd like to thank Dr Richard Jones for his generosity in sharing his knowledge and expertise ... [His] style is engaging, and his knowledge is considerable. The information provided was incredibly helpful and delivered in a way that was easy to understand. I would recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of developing a script, or to any writer who would like to try their hand at a new form of creative writing. It was a very worthwhile course!
