Who is this course suitable for?
This course is suitable for anyone writing within the romance genre and its many subgenres. You do not need a completed manuscript to enrol, but you do need an idea for your novel to get started. If you are writing a romance novel that you’d like expert help with, or you have queried a romance novel and struggled to grab an agent’s attention, this course is for you!
What genres is this course suitable for?
All romance genres are suitable for this course. If you’re unsure whether your novel idea is the right fit, you can get in touch with the courses team at
courses@jerichowriters.com. They’ll be happy to help!
Is this course suitable for writers based outside of the UK?
Absolutely! We welcome writers from across the world. Please keep in mind that the live elements of the course will be held in the evening GMT/BST. However, all live calls will be recorded and can be watched back the following day on the learning platform.
Is the course learning platform easy to navigate?
We use an easy-to-navigate online teaching platform, which is incredibly user-friendly, so you’ll have no difficulty understanding what to do. You’ll also have access to the teaching and platform forum indefinitely, so your course friendships will long outlast the duration of the course. Of course, if you do need help at any stage, the Courses team will be on hand.
How many students will be on the course?
You will share your tutor with up to 14 other students, and work with your group closely throughout the course, in live calls and peer feedback activities.
What if I’m not confident in my writing yet?
Don’t worry – most authors, even those who’ve been published, question their own abilities. To join this course and make the most of it, all you need is a book idea and the desire to learn. The step-by-step structure of the course, plus the supportive feedback you receive along the way, will help to build your confidence as you write.
Is it really worth it?
Any creative writing course is an investment in your future career as an author. It’s about building skills that you’ll hopefully use for years to come. If you’re committed to getting your romance novel out there, either through self- or traditional publishing, this genre-specific course will help you develop the confidence and skills to craft a truly compelling story that you’ll be proud to share with readers and industry professionals.
