In this course, you will…

Writing a novel is a massive endeavour. It looks easy and really isn’t. With this course, I wanted to give newer writers a really solid grounding in the basics. The course won’t stop you making mistakes, of course, but it should stop you making really big ones. I’ve written a lot of books myself, so this course is intensely practical. It’s all about helping you making your book better – fast. I hope it’s entertaining too!
