About our Edit Your Novel the Professional Way online course:

“I don’t think I could ever have got my novel to this level without the guidance of this course and the incredible friendship and support of my fellow writers.”

Over 18 weeks, leading UK literary consultant Helen Corner-Bryant and managing editor Kathryn Price will guide you in taking your novel from draft to agent-ready submission.

The course covers: plan and plot, characterisation, POV, effective dialogue and description, show-stopping scenes, page-turning pacing, Show not Tell, and how to catch an agent’s eye. By the end, you’ll emerge a pro in self-editing, with a concrete submission package and a list of agents who are open to receiving queries. 

Learn the techniques used by professional editors, based on their time-tested approach to author development, as well as the skills outlined in their essential guide to editing, "On Editing: How to Edit Your Novel the Professional Way" (John Murray, April 2018). 

After completing the course, you’re invited to submit your novel to a niche go-to list of agents open to submissions from course alumni. You'll also have a dedicated alumni area to keep in touch with fellow course-mates and network with our worldwide community of writers. 

Applications are open now.
