Unlike many other writing courses, WriteClub offers real-time online sessions where you will feel part of a team, working towards a common goal. The Write Your Novel course is divided into three 12-week parts so you can choose to commit to each part separately.

Week A = Under the Bonnet - workshop on craft
Week B = Feedback on your work with a small committed critique group
2 x 30 min 1-1 mentoring sessions with Alison Powell

This is an online course delivered using Zoom, Google folders and Slack. You will need access to a steady internet connection.

Under the bonnet sessions:
• Staying focused - How to prioritise your writing
• What story are you writing? - Seven basic plots
• Psychic distance - How close are you to the action
• Character archetypes - Who's on your team?
• Meanwhile... - writing the B story
• Experiments with form and making more of your story

Alison Powell supports new and established writers with their creative work. Having worked as a teacher and an education consultant for many years, she set up WriteClub in 2016 and has since run regular workshops on all aspects of the writing craft.
