Have a great idea for a novel but don’t know where to start? Join our novel writing course in Melbourne, perfect for beginners!
Writing a book can be terrifying. It’s enough to make most people quit before they’ve started, and of those who start, most give up after the first few chapters.
That’s why this course is designed to give you a complete framework around which you can write the story you’ve always wanted. You’ll learn how to build a compelling plot, create dynamic characters, write realistic dialogue, and much more.
The four sessions will cover:
  • Character and viewpoint
  • Plot and scene construction
  • Setting
  • Dialogue and prose
You will receive a workbook full of exercises and access to all resources used in the course. By the end of the four weeks, you will have everything you need to sit down and write your story from start to finish.
What you'll get
  • A workbook full of exercises and access to all resources used in the course.
  • Confidence to write your story from start to finish.
