My emails and DMs are always full of lovely people asking for writing advice and looking for guidance on how to get published.
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve decided to run a course for new novelists.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
How to Write Your Novel – From Start to Finish in 6 Months
Course aims and content:
This course is designed to take you from the ideas stage all the way through to a complete first draft of your novel in 6 months. It includes: initial brainstorming, developing character and plot, reaching your word-count goal, self-editing your work and approaching literary agents and working with publishers.
There’ll be time for you to submit any topics you’d like the course to cover ahead of time so that I can make sure it’s included in the syllabus.
Course structure and personal support:
The course will consist of 6 separate modules, each of which will be introduced in a monthly in-person lesson at a location in Central London with time for Q&A.
Remote participants will be sent all module materials by email at the start of each month.
Also included:
- Membership in a WhatsApp support group
- Up to 2 Zoom calls a month for support
- Feedback on the first 50-pages of your finished project
And finally:
- Support for next steps: consultation on your submissions package. Help and advice when it comes to contacting literary agents and getting published.
