Course Overview
Our online short story writing course features six engaging modules, each focused on a unique aspect of storytelling. We recommend dedicating 2-3 hours per week to the course, allowing you to work through the text lessons at your own pace, as there are no set class times. Your tutor will email the first module to you on the course start date, and you can expect a new module to be released weekly in the form of text lessons (keep an eye on your SPAM folder to ensure you don’t miss it).
Tutor Support
To ensure your progress, you will be assigned a dedicated online tutor to assess your weekly written assignments and provide personalised feedback. As an added benefit, once the class ends, you’ll still have access to the course materials to refresh your memory or revisit specific topics.
