30 Days of Writing: Create a Book in a Month

30 Days of Writing is a practical online course for writers and artists who'd enjoy the challenge of putting together a book in a month. The course is especially suited to anyone who'd like to take on a short project not necessarily linked to a book project you're working on. It's an opportunity to create that passion project you've been mulling over for years...

The online course is devised so that you can start a project from scratch and complete a first draft by the end of June. The course is a month-long commitment throughout June, and will benefit anyone who'd like the inspiration and support to write daily for 30 days alongside other writers from around the world.

The course includes:

• 2 x 30-minute one-to-one consultations at the start and end of the course. In the first, we'll pin-point a manageable project for you to work on throughout the month. In the second consultation we'll look at ways of refining your draft and explore possible avenues of publication.
• Daily prompts and suggestions. There'll be general prompts to work from, as well as prompts specific to your project.
• Ongoing and personalised feedback throughout the course.
• Advise about self-publishing, zines, and photobooks. Suggestions about places to submit your work for publication.
• Two copies of 12 Doable Writing Projects.
• The workshop is devised to suit writers of all levels who are willing to try out new ways of writing and thinking about writing.
