Here’s what people have to say about 12in12:

“Amanda’s pithy, humorous and insightful style both on page and off, make her 12 on 12 series an absolute must for anyone trying to give birth to their first book” AW

“Aside from the obvious (getting feedback) the 12in12 programme has been most beneficial for my focus; it really helps to have monthly goals and I find I’m less distracted by day to day life. It also forces me to let someone read my work, which is something I would usually be too nervous to allow.” Angie

“Thanks to the motivation of a monthly deadline and the encouragement of Amanda’s feedback I have already written 20,000 words and remain on target for 12 chapters by year’s end.” Julian

“Left to my own devices I would flounder in my writing, but making the commitment to ’12 in 12′, has meant that I plant myself at my desk more often than not, knowing that I have the support of an astute teacher.” Danica

“I needed motivation and goals. Joining your 12 in 12 group is the best thing I could have done. Six months down the track I am finishing chapter 6.  Halfway there and still a challenge ahead which I am sure with your constant motivational emails, encouragement and advice I can meet.  Without such help I just know I would keep procrastinating.” Chris

“Writing my first book was something that I had always put off. Breaking it down to 12 months, writing a chapter a month, has worked really well for me because it’s only baby steps. I’ve found it to be very motivating and supportive. Not only do I receive feedback on my own work, it’s taught me the discipline of writing and I am now disciplined to writing something every day. Thank you Amanda!” Jo

“The 12 in 12 program works well for me as the monthly deadline keeps me on track.  It also helps me to legtimise the time I spend on writing.  As well, I find Amanda very supportive.” Dorothy

“Like many people I had the feeling that I had a novel in me.  Other creative writing courses have concentrated on the creative process but Amanda’s 12in12 has given me the confidence to start writing seriously and helped me to get chapters on paper.  The monthly deadline gives structure and external discipline and Amanda’s feedback is focused,encouraging and draws on the reality
of her own experiences writing and getting published.” Ros
