This online monthly class, led by Jill Dawson, will share what I have learned in my four decades as a published author, as well as my magical tips and exercises for increasing your creativity, confidence and joy as a writer.

Seven Secrets will help you write better; it will help with structuring your work in progress; approaching agents and screen-producers and dealing with sales and marketing for your work; increasing and deepening your creative output, exploring magical tools like tarot and active imagination, and ultimately helping you to lead to a more joyous and fulfilling writing life. You will be part of a curated and selected group – this is by invitation only – of talented writers from all over the world.

Seven Secrets is a course suitable for all writers. You might be a debut author, published, or an absolute beginner.

Tutor: Jill Dawson:
‘I have written and published eighteen books in total, and really this is the only thing (apart from teaching, yoga, and Tarot) that I ever wanted to do with my life. I love helping others to find their writing joy, too. Two of my novels are in development for film. I’ve taught everywhere from the Faber Academy to the Arvon Foundation to the University of East Anglia, The Times, Guardian Masterclasses, Cambridge University, Amherst college and the National University of Singapore. I’ve led writing retreats in Bali, Sri Lanka, Marrakesh, Portugal, Italy, Australia and latterly, online. Since founding Gold Dust Mentoring for Writers, I have helped many writers to start the novel they’ve always wanted to write; finish and edit their novel; keep going when things get tough; find an agent; sometimes find a new agent; and publish.’
