This programme is perfect for anyone serious about writing a novel and seeing it traditionally published, or successfully self-published. Ideally, students on the programme have already started working on a draft they’d like to write and polish. The mentoring aspect of the programme will be completely personalised to you, so we’ll work from whatever your starting point happens to be, and provide you with all the writing tips and advice you need.
I have just started work on my novel, is this programme suitable for me?
Of course! If you are serious about finishing your novel and seeing it published, this programme is for you. As long as you have a solid idea of what you want to write, and the first few chapters under your belt, we’ll be able to help. The programme will be tailored to suit your needs, so we’ll work from whatever your starting point happens to be, and provide you with all the writing tips and advice you require.
I have already finished my draft, is this programme suitable for me?
Definitely – think of this programme as an opportunity to hone your novel and get it into the best shape it can be, to give you the best possible chance of success when you send it off to agents. During the twelve months you will revisit your draft with fresh eyes, working closely with your tutor to make sure that your novel works on every level. You will then learn everything you need to know about finding an agent, getting published, author marketing, and more. You will also benefit from featuring in our anthology, attending our networking events with industry professionals, and participating in our partnerships with top literary agents.
What genres does the programme suit?
All genres including creative non-fiction, YA and middle grade. Younger children’s work might not be suitable – but if there’s a market for your book, we want you. The programme is not suitable for non-fiction that doesn’t have a narrative element to it.
Can I meet the tutors before committing?
You can book a 20 minute one-to-one video call with tutors on the Ultimate Novel Writing Programme for just £20, through our
Meet Your Tutor sessions. We know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when committing to a writing programme, so these sessions are designed to give you an insight into how you might work alongside your tutor, and whether this course is the right next step for you.
