ALL ABOUT NOVEL WRITING

 

The deadline to apply for this year's Novel Creator Course is also fast approaching! You have until 5th September to get your applications in for the 13th September start date! 

 

 

 


Watch our free webinar with Amanda Saint and CM Taylor where they look at ways to make the themes and characters at the heart of your novel really mean something so that they resonate with readers.
 

 

 

 

Start Your Novel


We know that a year-long course is not for everyone so if you're writing a first draft of a novel, or revising one, or even just thinking about writing one, then our Start Your Novel online course can help you create a compelling story with memorable characters that resonate with readers. A condensed version of our Novel Creator Course, it enables you to work at your own pace to outline your novel, get to know your characters and the world they live in, and identify the themes at the heart of your story.
 

 

 

 

ALL ABOUT FLASH FICTION WRITING

 

Amanda Saint's brand new flash course is running again in October. The first one started at the beginning of this month and it's been so much fun, with writers on the course saying they are writing in ways they never have before! Spaces limited to 12 writers.
 

 

 

 

The hugely popular Fantastic Flashing 2 group course is back in November. Spend 2 weeks creating new drafts and getting feedback from Amanda Saint and your fellow writers to help you develop them for submission. Stories written in the previous group courses have recently appeared on the Bath Flash Fiction Award longlist, as Editor's Choice in Janus Literary, and in several flash journals here and in the US. Join and get writing! Spaces limited to 15 writers.
 

 

 

 

Only a few more weeks now until our online flash festival!

We've got an amazing line up of writers and lit journals who'll be getting excited about all things flash, as well as a book launch, the winners of the first Retreat West Awards, and the chance to submit for the festival anthology!
