Writing Courses and education

These courses will help you become a better writer, that's for sure. The difference, though, is that these courses will never expire. If you want quick (and FREE!) try our one-hour sessions, delving into a specific type of writing. These act as a sort of introduction to longer form courses which will be offered soon.

If you enjoy those or want more specific writing advice or explore a form more, then try our four week or twelve week courses which will give you an affordable route to getting better with your writing.

Here is a quick guide:

Workshops: free sessions that give you an introduction to the genre and/or form. These free courses will give a great introduction to the larger sessions and act as a gateway to paid courses
'How to write': Tend to be paid, twelve week courses which are a mix of interactive and self-led. These may be taught by Erica OR other lecturers/professionals.
