The Founding Principles

Developed by John Simmons, Stuart Delves and Jamie Jauncey, Dark Angels is based on their collective ideas about writing and language. Attend the courses, read the books. Or do both.

'Let us explore our potential through words, words that soar off the page, fly out of the screen, into the imaginations of others. Let us live up to our abilities as dark angels.'
