#WritersCoffeeClub 17 Mar
High school or college writing courses?
Nope: English education system required you to specialize from age 16 and I went STEM (degrees in Pharmacy and Computer Science) with no humanities courses at all (there weren't any available with my 'A' level mix and degree syllabi).
I workshopped a lot in my 20s, but as a writer I'm an autodidact.
