Over six consecutive Wednesday evenings, this course will give you the technical skills and creative inspiration to write your novel – with Ross Raisin, one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists
Writing a novel is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes stamina, skill and inspiration to craft a story and tell it as well as you possibly can. This six-week writing programme with Ross Raisin, one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists, will give the skills and confidence to write the novel you’ve always had in you.
Over six consecutive Wednesday evenings, you’ll learn the key elements of novel-writing, from creating vivid characters to writing sharp dialogue, to the drafting and editing process. Each week involves a mixture of tuition and practical exercises, and in one session, you’ll have the opportunity to receive feedback on your writing. You’ll also be set a manageable amount of homework between some (but not all) sessions, enabling you to improve your writing technique, as well as a few expert tips on getting your novel into print.
By the end of the six weeks, you’ll have a toolkit of skills to help you craft your story page by page, plus the inspiration to continue work on your novel after the course. If you’ve got an idea for a novel, or have already started working on one, this comprehensive programme will give you a new sense of creative direction, as well as a host of skills to unlock your true potential – and write the novel you know you’re capable of writing.
