Self-Editing Course Bursary
Self-Editing Your Novel Course Bursary
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.
This six-week online course will give you all the self-editing skills you need to ensure your novel is as good as it can get, before pitching to agents, or self-publishing with confidence.
Debi Alper will also select a minimum of three runners-up to be given a free annual membership to Jericho Writers. (That means we give out at least 12 free memberships each year!)
Previous alumni averaged an impressive 1-in-4 publication rate. Excited? So are we.
Upcoming Deadline
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).
Bursary applications are now closed. Stay tuned to our social channels and emails for the next submission period!
