Questions about the courses?
⏰ How many people per course?
We keep group sizes deliberately small — usually no more than 12 people per cohort. That way, you’ll get individual attention, tailored feedback, and the chance to ask questions specific to your book or situation. It’s a supportive, no-pressure environment — perfect whether you’re confident and ready to go, or still finding your feet.
📹 Are your courses live or pre-recorded?
These are live, interactive courses, delivered in real time over Zoom. You’ll join a small group of fellow writers for a series of practical sessions, led personally by Ed. No boring slides, no recycled recordings — just honest advice, direct support, and real answers to your questions as you go.
⏰ What if I can't attend live?
No problem. All sessions are recorded and you’ll get access to the full replays straight after each one. You’ll still get all the advice, exercises, and step-by-step guidance — and if you have questions, you can email Ed directly for help.
📄 Do I need to have finished my manuscript?
The course is designed for writers who are nearing the end of their first draft, already editing, or preparing to publish. If your book is still in early development, you’re welcome to join — just know we’ll be focusing on what happens after the writing is (mostly) done.
✅ Do you offer a risk-free guarantee?
Yes — Try the first live session. If it’s not right for you, you can request a full refund. I only want you on the course if it genuinely helps you move forward.
