Reviews

“It’s hard to sum up in words really how this opportunity changed me, my career and my life. I think for me most importantly, it made me feel like a professional writer for the first time and helped me dream, think, reflect, focus and reach for my goals, in a way I’d never been given the time or opportunity to do so previously.”

“I have an audience on Radio 4, BBC One, and a digital production. I’ve won a major prize, I’ve learnt a huge amount – about my own resourcefulness, about tough decisions in times of crisis, about celebrating art and how best to support young people – and I know the progress I’ve made wouldn’t have been possible without the bursary. Thanks to Pentabus, I am and will remain incredibly grateful for this transformative opportunity.”
