Overview
What you will study
If you’re writing or have written a short story collection or novel, and want to make the best impression when submitting it to publishers and agents, this is an ideal place to start.
Equally, if your aim is simply to develop your writing in a disciplined and constructive workshop environment, this Writers Workshop course offered by City, University of London is for you.
Students' fiction (chapters from novels or short stories) will be circulated to fellow students and tutor and then constructively critiqued within the group.
You may also submit and workshop a synopsis of your novel; write an author biog and covering letter to send to agents and publishers; and will select a topic for proposed discussion in class (e.g. pace, multiple viewpoints).
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Understand the construction of a sustained piece or collection of fiction;
- Set and meet writing deadlines and guidelines (e.g. length requirements);
- Give, receive and apply constructive criticism;
- Revise and edit your work;
- Put together a submission for an agent or publisher, consisting of a covering letter, synopsis or pitch, and your first three chapters or three short stories.
