Danielblythe Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 This Spring in Sheffield, I'm going to be leading another of my occasional 1-day courses in writing a novel and getting it published. I have sixteen years of experience and you can check me out on http://www.danielblythe.com - I'm the author of ten books and have worked with several different publishers, and I'm represented by a leading London literary agent. I've written commercial fiction, literary fiction and non-fiction, and my last book Doctor Who:Autonomy was a No.1 bestseller. The course will include sections on openings, characterisation, dialogue, structure, voice, plot development and endings, as well as up-to-the-minute pointers on the role of editors and agents and clear tips on how they like to be approached - plus pointers on what they don't want to see! It's not a writing workshop and you won't be expected to bring any writing along to read out - there are exercises which involve some writing but we won't be looking to produce finished pieces of prose. The cost for the day will be £70, and this will include all tuition, an information pack, refreshments and a buffet lunch. I will also answer participants' follow-up queries by email (although I cannot read full manuscripts at the moment). The likely day is Saturday 17th April, from 10am-4pm, at a central Sheffield venue to be confirmed. At the moment I have about 10 people interested, and I'm happy to take another 8-9. Please let me know on danielblythe@blueyonder.co.uk if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielblythe Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 This is now confirmed as happening on Saturday 17th April, 10am-4.30pm at the Quaker Meeting House. I still have a few places left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacock Lady Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 If anyone is considering this one-day course I urge them to book their place right now. Daniel is an excellent writer and you'll all earn a lot from him. I wish he'd been around when I was starting out (only I am a decade older than him, so that wouldn't work).
