A Beginner’s Guide to Writing a Novel

If you have a novel in your head but are overwhelmed by the idea of writing it, this one-day course will help you to begin. Focusing on the first 20,000 words, we'll explore the basic skills you need to write that opening section: how to plan and organise ideas; create compelling characters; and pose intriguing questions to keep your readers interested. We'll look at how to deliver information without becoming boring and ask: how do you keep motivated to go beyond 20,000 words?

Creative And Professional Writing

Writing is everywhere. From the films we watch, the TV we stream and the books we read, to the social media posts we write, the marketing pitches that surround us and the news stories we receive across print and digital formats. Increasingly too, that writing is not produced by people, but by AI.
