“Greg Baxter’s courses are unlike any other creative writing courses I’ve ever heard of: they are better. If you don’t like being challenged, the Some Blind Alleys courses are not for you. If you do, they may change your life.” -Brendan Barrington Editor, Dublin Review Senior Editor, Penguin Ireland “There are many people who teach creative writing, but in my opinion Greg Baxter is the best we have in Ireland. He always gives brilliant advice, he is consistent, he is rigorous and he is inspiring. There is no better place to go, whether you want to start writing, or continue writing, or improve your writing – fiction or non-fiction – than Some Blind Alleys. -Carlo Gébler Author, A Good Day For A Dog “Greg Baxter is an essayist and fiction writer with a mission: to get Dubliners reading good literature.” - The Dubliner Best Creative Writing Course Best of Dublin 2010 “Something – maybe a breeze or a hurricane – is happening in Irish writing – when was the last time anyone said that? – thanks to Greg Baxter. His impatience for flimsy writing won’t win him the love of fiction’s shitchurners, but young scribes have taken note.” -Le Cool
