Type: Course

Sundays, 10am – 4pm. 4 March, 6 May, 8 July, 9 September & 11 November

Gain the tools for successful non-fiction writing. Bring your idea, proposal or partly finished manuscript; this course will uncover what’s standing in the way of its further development or completion, and clear the doubt and confusion away. Learn research skills, gain help with ethical quandaries and the tone or structure of the work, and acquire the experience and confidence you need to get your project off the drawing board and into print.
