From Memory or Imagination, be guided with prompts to bring experiences to the page. The AWA method is grounded with supportive commentary that allows a safe container to be held for writers to explore their craft.

We focus on what worked, stayed with us and was strong. All work is treated as fiction so as to uphold the writer and any risks they may have taken by putting words to paper. No experience is necessary.
