“Can’t thank you enough for all that you have given me so far. Truly transformative. I am deeply indebted.”

“I spent five years and hundreds of dollars trying to find an authentic way to reconcile my protagonist’s past with his present. One brainstorming session with Kira-Anne and she found the solution within ten minutes. Thanks for saving me a fortune on further coverage. I can’t thank you enough.”
- Fiona Linton, Screenwriter 12/12/22
“Working with Kira-Anne on my latest novel has been an absolute game-changer. I know how important it is to create engaging characters who the reader wants to spend time with, but putting it into practice can be a challenge. I was blown away by Kira-Anne’s insight into the characters and solutions for aspects that didn’t quite work. We were able to dive deep into the main characters with the aim of bringing them alive, and I’m sure the novel will be stronger as a result. Her approach is warm and collaborative and her input has gone beyond my expectations.”

“Kira-Anne’s deep characterisation workshop over two days was formidable. With respect to characterisation, I got more out of this course than my 40 year background in psychoanalysis and psychology. I fleshed out my main character for a TV series, her monologue and dialogue and even plots and action. This course is a must before any film writing endeavour.”
– Desiree Faust 24/02/2020
“This was an excellent workshop. Tons of original information laid out in a very clear way. Kira-Anne encouraged everyone to engage and ask questions as well so you felt very supported. Going to be incredibly useful when developing my screenplay.”

“Loved it. Helped me move forward with a story I’ve been writing for about 20 years! Also met some amazing likeminded encouraging people.”
– David Turner, FRSA 02/07/2018
“Excellent course. Presented a really useful way of thinking about character design, definitely helped me to better understand my characters, how they interact, and how to bring them alive on the page. In turn, that’s really useful in developing story, making it more punchy and less neutral. Definitely recommend.”
