Courses > Novel writing

The Bureau provides a special service for anyone interested in writing a novel. We work with you. We don't deal in vague generalities - we show you the ropes as you go along.

When you enrol for the Novel Course it works like this:

• We assist you to plan your novel to make sure you begin with good shape and direction. The initial planning can take up to four assignments before we start on the chapter-by-chapter write up.
  
  
• We give critical commentaries as we work with you on a chapter-by-chapter development. These commentaries apply to your work on each chapter: where necessary, we make suggestions on how to strengthen your writing.

One of the great merits of this tuition is that you can write when you like. If you want to take things easy we won't attempt to hurry you. On the other hand, we'll work with you as quickly as you wish from chapter to chapter.

Perhaps this is the kind of help you have always longed for? If you are keen to write, our pupil/teacher relationship cannot fail to bring out the best that is in you. Given the right conditions your best may be an agreeable surprise! Finally, the work will be entirely yours. Our part in it will remain confidential.
