Spread the Word is thrilled to launch The Basics Course, a brand-new series of free online workshops for writers who have just started or are planning to write a full-length fiction novel.
The Basics is a course designed for early-stage writers looking to make their first steps to write a novel. Spread over five weeks, the course will be run by four award-winning debut novelists and an experienced editor. Each session will run on Zoom and will standalone so you don’t need to sign up to each one to take part. They will also be recorded so you can catch up.
This course will take you through the basics of putting together a full-length fiction novel, from developing your ideas, to editing your draft – there’s something for every writer looking to make a start on their novel.
