GET YOUR NOVEL OFF THE GROUND | online mentored critique circle | Tuesday 22nd April–3rd June | 6–8pm UK
In order to balance the groups by writing experience we ask to see a sample of writing in order to put you in a peer group that will both support and gently challenge you to get your novel writing flowing in the write direction. Please get in touch by the Contact button on the website or send an email to hello@kateoldfieldwrites.com.
Give your novel (and your writing) the boost it needs in this friendly but focussed 6-week tutored course.
Weekly tutorials, practical writing exercises and supportive critique workshops will help you to develop your story, hone your craft and build your confidence.
Each 2-hour session will kick off with a writing exercise to help develop your writing practice and supercharge your draft, followed by a deep-dive discussion on an aspect of the craft of writing – from character development to plot structure and everything in between.
The remainder of each session will involve a facilitated group workshop, providing peer critique of students’ own work.
Students will also receive detailed written feedback on their shared work from the course facilitator, editor and novelist, Philippa Dunn.
To apply:
1) add the price ticket you require (payment will be required on an offer of a place on the course, further to seeing a sample of your mss), and checkout (you will not be charged at this stage), and
2) send a sample of your work in progress (1–1,500 words), to hello@kateoldfieldwrites.com (in a Word-compatible document or PDF format).
[In following this process, we will endeavour to ensure that the group is writing at a similar level before the course begins.*]
Price:
Standard: £200
Concession: £160 (please read our eligibility criteria before purchasing**)
