‘emagazine is an invaluable resource, providing our students with an unintimidating route into exploring literary criticism. The texts and ideas explored are of direct relevance to their exams and the essays often help them form their own alternative readings of these texts.’

Rose Page, Woking College

‘emagazine is perfectly pitched at just above my A Level students understanding of texts and therefore being both accessible and a lovely 'stretch' of their understanding of literature.  Additionally in terms of promoting independence for  coursework and research tasks it is great to be able to give students access to an online resource which they can navigate freely and research the texts they are interested in. I know after reading emagazine articles students will be better informed and have ideas ready to bring back to class.’

Grainne McNeill, Morpeth School  

‘highly recommended in the transition from school to university study’

Dr Emma Smith, Hertford College, University of Oxford

‘emag really helped me think beyond the course and refreshed the material we were learning in the classroom’

Sherene, Year 13

‘For anyone thinking of applying to read English at university it is indispensable.’

Professor John Mullan, UCL

‘emagazine has been an invaluable resource in finding accessible critical analysis on works I've studied at college, as well as widening my awareness of other interesting pieces of literature. I looked forward to the magazine arriving in the college library, as sitting down to read it was educationally enriching, without me feeling that I had to wade through the words on the page in order to understand them.’

Maya Little, A Level student

‘I find emag more interesting than other magazines aimed at A Level students because of its freshness; it ventures away from the confines of exam specs without losing its relevance and usefulness.’

Yi Wen Hon, A Level student
