The 6 Month Writing Course
A course for people who want to write.
Every writer begins somewhere.
​
Some arrive with a notebook full of ideas. Others have written chapters they return to again and again, never quite knowing how to move forward. Some have always wanted to write but have struggled to find the time, the confidence, or simply a place to begin.
The 6 Month Writing Course is for all of them.
This is not about writing like someone else.
It is about discovering the story only you can tell.
What you'll explore
The course unfolds over six months, with each session building
naturally on the one before.​
Month One
Story Essentials
We'll begin with the foundations of storytelling. What makes a story? How do structure, conflict and pacing work together? We'll also look closely at the building blocks of writing, from sentences and paragraphs to chapters.
Throughout the course
Alongside the live teaching, you'll receive a weekly newsletter written for your cohort, offering reflections on writing, reading recommendations and practical encouragement between sessions.
​
You'll also receive six revision packs designed to help you continue exploring each month's theme in your own time, with exercises and guidance that can be applied directly to your own work.
​
The course is intentionally small, allowing space for thoughtful teaching, conversation and reflection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have written anything before I join?
No. Whether you're starting from scratch, have a few chapters tucked away in a drawer, or have been working on something for years, you're very welcome. The only requirement is a desire to write and a willingness to make time for it.
I've never taken a writing course before. Is this suitable for me?
Yes. The course is open to writers at every stage. You don't need previous experience or formal training. If you're prepared to engage with the work, you'll find a place here.
​
What happens if I miss a session?
We understand that life sometimes gets in the way. All live sessions are recorded and made available afterwards, so you'll still have access to the teaching if you're unable to attend.
​
How much time should I set aside each week?
Outside the monthly sessions, your writing practice is your own. Some participants write every day, others find a rhythm that fits around work, family and other commitments. The course provides structure and support; how you use it is entirely up to you.
What is the cancellation policy?
A non-refundable deposit of £300 is required to reserve your place.
The remaining balance is due 28 days before the course begins.
