Hi everyone!

Who do you know who'd like to write (and maybe even publish) a book over the next six months-to-a year?

We have 7 spots filled, and 5 still available for "The Book That Needs to be Written: a 6-Month Course".

So far, we have people writing:

1. Sci fi

2. Romance

3. Literature from a hybrid cultural perspective

4. Thriller genre

5. Psychological

6. Post-modern

7. Personal Narrative + Coaching Guide

All you need to attend this 6-month program is an idea and a willingness to get stuck into your writing, with the help of the community/group + plenty of confidential one-to-one support (from me!).

Starts 31st August in London at Finch's Pub in Old Street (with a combination of in-person and online workshops and one-to-ones thereafter).

If you or anybody else you know might be interested, please feel free to text me on 07534 981 636 for more information (and to see if you think it would be a good fit for you!)

Testimonial from a recent course attendee:

"It was with some trepidation that I first attended one of Sean’s workshops, having had so little experience of being “out” as a writer, or of engaging in the creative community. However, from the first moment I felt welcomed and included but under no pressure. In fact, I felt comfortable saying absolutely nothing, at first, which was most reassuring.

Sean carries his knowledge and skill-set very lightly, and has a most disarming and engaging manner that draws the very best from the group and encourages discussion and the formation of new ideas. And he has a determined belief that we can all produce something to be proud of.

I have since not only found my voice, but also the confidence to express it, and I always come away from each workshop enthused, and with something that I can work up into a longer piece.

If you can go, go; if you can’t go, go anyway, and let that other thing sort itself out….." (Stephen)
