Here Are a Few of Our
Student Successes:

Follow One of Our Specialised Creative Writing Programmes and Avoid Common Writing Mistakes

Completing your novel, screenplay or short story can be easier than you think. Many writers simply don’t know the best approach to take, resulting in frustration, lack of motivation and blocked creativity. At the Writers College, we’ve done the difficult groundwork for you. All you need to do is follow our course programme, and implement the individual feedback you receive from your tutor, to complete your creative writing project.

You won’t just save time and effort either. By harnessing your award-winning tutor’s insider tips and expertise, you can most likely unlock far better creative results than you’d be able to achieve on your own.

We’ve taken decades of writing experience by our team of award-winning writers and compressed it into comprehensive, effective programmes that you can complete at your own pace. Plus our students consistently tell us how fun, stimulating and challenging our courses are!
