Your book might be already written, or might only be an idea bubbling away or some scribbles in a hand written notebook. This course will explore the mysteries of the novel and share ways and means of capturing that mystery in a concrete form on the page.

From germinating an initial idea through to character development and plot; to looking at difficult questions like how to ‘kill your darlings’, and sustaining your story; through to editing and presenting your manuscript and ways of approaching agents – the course aims to pack in as much as possible.

Different methods and approaches will be offered and explored in a way that is practical and fun. We will also look at that burning question of keeping confidence on such a long-term project. You will be able to share your own work in a friendly and supportive environment that will aim to take you on the next step of your novel journey.
