During the course you will receive advice from writer and producer, Tim John, you will concentrate on how to arrange and expand your material, revise and edit your work, as well as a chance to create new work that feeds into your manuscript.

Throughout the course, there will be the opportunity to develop your own characters, pace, plot and story line, write authentic dialogue and make a setting come alive.
