and world-leading YA writer LA Weatherly. Register for your free place here. About the course:
Find a
fresher, more relatable teenage voice, and new ways of coming at the big
issues in Young Adult writing with hands-on support from a world-leading YA
writer. This 18-week course, led by author Lee Weatherly, will guide writers
through the key techniques and skills YA writers need to master to sustain
reader interest and keep productive through the long form of a novel. Working
in a small group of fellow writers, start by honing your concept, thinking
about age ranges and word counts for your genre, and share your idea,
protagonist and first pages with the group. Then work on your voice,
storyworld, dialogue, structure, pacing – and general confidence as a YA
writer – as you learn about how the industry works. At the end of the course
you’ll have a synopsis, first chapter and a plan to keep up momentum and
progress your novel. The full course begins on 26 June, with a 60% discount available
for residents of Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside. Please not
that bursary places are limited. Find out more here. Work with industry experts to master new skills and see how
far your talent can take you. We’re
excited to launch our programme of online courses, New Writing North Academy,
created in partnership with the Professional Writing Academy, the
