Write a Novel in a Year

In 2024 I’ll be running an online course that takes you through every aspect of writing a novel, from first idea to finished draft. Through 50 newsletters, 25 online write-ins and a WhatsApp support group, we will look at how to nurture the spark of an idea, push through a rough first draft and hone the work through rewriting, ending the year with a solid draft of your novel, ready to be read by beta readers or maybe agents. And I will be guiding you, inspiring you and holding you accountable every step of the way.

What You Need

  • A rough idea of the kind of novel you want to write
  • Around 30-60 minutes per day for your writing (we’ll look at how to find this time)
  • A real passion and commitment to your writing

What You Get

  • Weekly newsletters with exercises and instruction for the week’s writing – and a forum to share your results
  • Regular writealongs on zoom
  • Access to an online and whatsApp community of like-minded writers with weekly check ins to provide support and accountability and the opportunity to ask any questions about the writing process
  • The option to buy extra mentoring or manuscript assessment at a 20% discount on my normal rates

Costs

£250 for access to the course and online and WhatsApp discussion forums

£350 for the above, plus a review of your novel plan in late February and a one-on-one 45 min zoom chat
