There are number of options where you can work on a one-to-one basis with our tutors for a more personalised approach with the content of sessions designed specifically for you and where abouts you are in your creative writing journey. This could be in any medium - prose, scriptwriting, screenwriting or writing for audio, and might involve developing story, working on scripts, refining work, or whatever suits you as an individual.
The one-to-one sessions are bespoke for each individual, and could be taken as a one-off session to share your writing and gain feedback, or as a block of sessions where you will develop your work over a number of weeks.
Whilst we recommend that students undertake group courses, as there are real benefits of sharing your work with others and gaining feedback as well as looking at other people's work, it is possible to undertake any of the Creative Writing courses as an individual course. You will still receive the same feedback from tutors on your work after each session as well as on your final pieces of writing, but you would undertake the course itself solo. The content would be the same as that outlined on these course information pages.
Cost: From £50 per hour.
(discounted rate for block bookings).
Please see the list of questions about the one-to-one sessions. If you are looking to undertake one of the courses solo then please see the specific course questions for more details.
If you have any further questions then please get in touch.
This will ultimate depend on what you want and need, and what the requirements of the session are for you.
A single session could be you sharing a piece of writing and gaining feedback and guidance as to how to improve it, or if you are booking a block of sessions you may develop your writing, or particular pieces, over a few weeks or work on key areas such as dialogue or character.
You will discuss with us before your session the content you would like to cover so that this can be specifically prepared for you.
We will book in a mutually convenient one-hour time slot and meet online.
You will need a working camera on your laptop or tablet, and a good internet connection.
Our courses are led by qualified teachers, with Masters level experience of Creative Writing.
The course is the same, you will just undertake the work without the use of the forum, meaning you will only receive feedback from the tutor and will not see the work of others.
Whilst we recommend undertaking the course as part of a group we realise that this is not for everyone and can accommodate students taking the course solo.
You will still receive the same feedback from tutors and will still be able to ask questions in the same manner as those on group courses, with clear set times when a tutor is online and can be asked any questions you may have so that an immediate response is given. There is also the option of posting questions for tutors to answer at other points in the week.
Our coaches are all well qualified, both as teachers and as experts in their disciplines. They are all fully DBS checked to ensure care and safety.
The nature of the work being recorded and set as assignments means that parents and guardians can have full access to all that is being sent out to students.
