If you’ve always dreamed of writing a book but didn’t know where to begin, or if you’re an experienced writer wanting to revisit the foundations of storytelling, this course offers the perfect opportunity.

Over eleven monthly sessions, our expert tutor will guide you through the essential elements of creative writing. From structure and dialogue to description, point of view and beyond – you’ll explore every key aspect of the writing process.

By the end, you’ll be equipped to write a compelling synopsis and understand the steps involved in submitting your work for publication.

If you are no longer able to attend a Pen to Print online event or have found yourself booking more than once for the same event – please use the ‘cancel my ticket’ option instead of ‘request a refund’ before the event is due. By doing so, an automatic refund will apply.

Please note there is a supporting Google Classroom for this course and the direct link to join can be found in confirmation email under the Additional information section.
