“The heart of Devon beats in this place, and in this couple” Samuel, Airbnb guest from Antibes, Jan 2026

“I found the course completely inspiring. It helped me turn an idea I liked but wasn't enthused by into something I was excited to write, thanks to the supportive group, Natalie's insightful feedback, and the focused activities that helped me understand what I needed to do. I now feel much more able to turn my dream of writing a book into a reality!” - Carina , Nov 2025

"I was genuinely surprised by how effective and constructive the DYBI workshop was. I had expected it to be useful and interesting but it was remarkable how the weekly sessions really pushed me (us all) to improve and develop not just our ideas but our writing. The programme has given me a real sense of motivation and encouragement with my writing. I would definitely recommend this programme to all, whatever stage your writing is at. Susan, Nov 2025
