Course update and new reviews

My online course 'The way I See it' will now run in the spring instead and 'Write what you Know' is almost full so just another couple of places left. I'm offering a discount to anyone who wants to take them both.

There's a new review of 'Horse' here: http://www.firstpasture.co.uk/horse-books-elaine-walker-pri-1260.html?reviews_id=2.

New Courses for Autumn

Online Group Courses.

A choice of 3 courses that are interactive but asynchronous - writers meet in a private, password-protected online classroom to collect, submit and read assignments on a regular basis. There is no live interaction, leaving writers free to work at a time to suit themselves.

All these courses involve peer review for which guidelines will be given in week 1, and include 5 writing exercises, (4x 500 words; 1 x 1000-2000 words) and 5 reading and/or feedback exercises. Each one will last around 16 weeks.

Fee £100 per course, payable in advance.

1. Do you come here often?

A workshop to help you generate new writing based on a shared starting point with prompts and feedback from the tutor and other participants. For fiction writers with some experience. Starts October 10^th

2. The way I see it.

A workshop on narrative point of view and creating mood, based on prompts and feedback from the tutor and other participants. For poets and fiction writers with some experience. Starts November 2^nd.

3. Write what you know.

A workshop exploring this piece of traditional advice to writers so you can use it to your best advantage, based on prompts and feedback from the tutor and other participants. For poets, fiction and non-fiction writers – all levels of experience. Starts November 16^th

One-to-One Courses start monthly and are offered at 3 levels for beginners, intermediate and experienced writers.Each course has 6 assignments and will be tailored to suit individual needs and run over a negotiated time-scale.

Fee £150 payable in advance.

Mentoring is a one-to-one service aimed at experienced writers who either wish for help in starting a long project – e.g. novel, non-fiction book, collection of poetry – or those who already have a body of material they need help in moving towards a final draft. Mentoring can take place face-to-face, via email, or as a combination of both.

Please get in touch with details of your project for costs.
