Find out how to unlock your wild imagination and use it for your storytelling in this fun and engaging course led by writer Liz Hyder.

Suitable for both beginners and those with some experience who want to push their work to the next level, this will be an interactive course bursting with practical tips, exercises and more to inspire and encourage you. Whether you’re an out-and-out fantasy writer, looking to create a dystopian tale, or simply wanting to dip your toe into world-building, this course is for you!
