Here’s why you should apply…

The course has a proven track record. Alumni include Award-winning authors Deepa Anappara, Hannah Begbie, and Harriet Tyce, amongst many others.
It’s practical. Each module has been designed to support you in writing your novel, from developing your plot to character motivation.
The tutors are brilliant: Rebekah Lattin-Rawstrone and Kiare Ladner are both professional writers, editors and creative writing teachers who really know their onions and want to help you become better writers.
It has great links with the publishing industry. Each year students are trained in rehearsed readings towards an end-of-year show to an invited audience of literary agents.
There’s one fully-funded space available for a talented writer from a low-income household via their scholarship scheme.
