Self-Editing Course Bursary
Under-represented writers
Self-Editing Your Novel Course Bursary
This online course runs four times a year and we take bursary submission applications throughout. Please make sure you’ll be able to participate on the course start date before applying (Self-Edit Your Novel is a 6-week course).
Applications for the self-edit your novel course bursary will reopen soon
With thanks to tutors Debi Alper and Emma Darwin, we’re able to offer one fully-funded place for an under-represented writer on our most popular tutored course – Self Editing Your Novel. Three runners-up will be given a free annual membership to Jericho Writers, where they have unlimited access to the video courses and resources we have to offer. (That means we give out at least 12 free memberships each year!)
Applications are reviewed by our team. Applicants will be notified during the week before the course start date of the outcome of their submission.
