So you want to write a book? We can help

Writing is not a magical process. You don’t need to sit waiting for inspiration, while desperation rises. No need to buy good luck charms, or wait for your muse.

Like any other artform, writing can be taught. And we have designed our flagship Creative Writing Course to provide all the skills you need to write fiction, memoir, or any other form of creative non-fiction.

We have used all our experience – where we succeeded and where we failed – as well as the best writing advice the world has to offer, to give you what we wish we’d known twenty years ago.

Become a better writer

Whether you are completely new to writing, or have been writing for some time and would like to improve, our Creative Writing Course will give you practical advice and get you writing confidently in scenes.

Forget mysticism. We can make any writer much better. And we know it works. In twelve years, over forty books, fiction and non-fiction, have been published by past participants.

We can make your dreams come true.

Early bird special

The next live version of our Creative Writing Course starts on Monday 4 October 2021. We’ll teach you in real-time, in a very small group.

Book by Monday 13 September to qualify for a 20% early bird special. Book now and pay only £360 (usually £450) / ZAR6360 (usually ZAR7950). Use the coupon code septspecials

We also run an online version of the course if you’d prefer to do it in your own time. Start any Monday. You’ll receive the same personal attention from us – and written feedback on every assignment.

But is it right for me?

Please come back to me if you have any questions at all.

If you’d like to chat, you are welcome to WhatsApp call me on +27824532591. We pride ourselves on trying to meet all our writer’s needs.

Happy writing

Jo-Anne

PS – If you’ve already done the Creative Writing Course and are wondering what to do next let me know. I’d be very happy to talk through how we can best help you, no matter where you are on your writing journey.
