Essential publishing courses for writers
When aspiring authors share their dreams of getting published, it’s often disheartening to hear the misguided advice they’ve been given. For years, I’ve worked to set the record straight, notably through my time teaching the Guardian Weekend Masterclass in self-publishing. My mission has always been to dispel the myths and provide writers with the tools they need to navigate the publishing world effectively.
Whether you’re aiming to self-publish or secure a deal with a mainstream publisher, my training is designed to guide you every step of the way. Each year, I offer courses tailored to the needs of writers at different stages of their journey, helping them to achieve their publishing goals with confidence and clarity.
