Comprehensive Writing Course

We see a great many stories and articles by novice writers, and while the majority of these show originality and creativity, many are marred by an incomplete command of technique. The technical requirements of writing can be learned. This will remove an amateur quality from your writing so that you can produce work that editors will accept. We will teach you these essential techniques.

Whether you want to write a novel, children's stories, articles for magazines, or create scripts for radio or stage plays, the Writing School course will teach you how to do it. What is more, you will have your own personal tutor who will hold your hand, coach and encourage you every step of the way.

Because our writing course trains you in a wide variety of styles, you are able to choose the genre that suits you best, and concentrate on the subjects that interest you most. You will be set a number of assignments that will stretch your mind and your imagination as you learn professional writing techniques.

All this can be achieved at home, studying in your spare time!
This course can be taken by mail or email
