Hi fellow writers,

Trish and I have been planning our annual trip to our boat in England for the summer (lucky us), but have encountered a number of delays that mean we’ll be here for six weeks longer than we’d planned.

And since that means we won’t be back in time to run a Creative Writing Course at the end of the year, we thought, why not turn these wintry weeks into an opportunity to hold another Johannesburg Creative Writing Course?

Last chance for 2018

So this is your chance, people, to attend a creative writing programme that some past participants have said have transformed their writing selves. Here’s Cape Town writer Clive Goodchild-Brown: “Discovering the Creative Writing Course has been one of the most satisfying landmarks in my life and certainly in my writing journey… They offer I believe an unequalled forum for prospective writers of all skill levels. I am hooked.”

If we get enough participants, we’ll hold sessions every Monday and Wednesday evening from 6pm to 9pm in Parkview, Johannesburg starting on Monday 14 May. The final session will be on Wednesday 6 June.

Cost

The cost of the course is R 7 200, but if you pay in full before the start of the course we can offer you a 10% discount. To take advantage of this offer now, please click here to book via our shop. Also payable in three tranches of R 2 400.

Up your writing game

This is our flagship course, which is designed to teach all the skills you need to write a book – fiction or non-fiction – and to get you writing confidently in scenes.

The course, though, is not only aimed at those who want to publish. Some people take it to enhance their experience of writing for family, and others just to expand their creativity after years of having it stifled by jobs and life.

Please click here for more information.

We’d love you to join us

Please come back to me if you have any more questions. If you’d like to chat, phone me with pleasure (or whatsapp call) on 082 466 6424.
I’d love to work with you through the chilly evenings of May and early June!

Warm regards

Richard

PS If the Johannesburg course doesn’t suit you you can join either the Cape Town course or the online version both of which start on 6 June.
