Want to write a novel?

Arachne Author Emily Pedder has been in touch asking us to help promote a course for people who are serious about getting that first novel written and out in the light of day:

Novel Studio at City University, London. It’s a year-long intensive course for aspiring novelists with an excellent track record of published alumni.

Deadline for applications 31 May, so be quick! Oh, and there’s a competition this year too, open to all applicants. The top three applications will be forwarded to Natalie Butlin at Christine Green Author’s Agency with a view to representation.

If anyone wants to ask Emily more, in particular about the competition which doesn’t seem to be on the website, you can contact her on Emily(dot)Pedder(dot)1(at)city(dot)ac(dot)uk
