Navigating the how-to-write-a-novel advice now available can be daunting — there’s so much information out there it can be hard to know where to start.

This comprehensive course with Pamela Cook will guide you through the entire process, from drafting a novel, creating compelling characters, crafting a gripping plot, fuelling your fiction with conflict and more. You’ll leave with a clear action plan for revision and publication, ready to take the next step towards sharing your work with the world. Whether this is your first manuscript or you’re a few novels in and looking to refine your craft, this course will give you the tools and support you need to succeed.

As you work through the lessons online, you’ll also be working offline to write your novel. To this end, you’ll be encouraged to set specific, achievable writing goals each week and have the opportunity to share your successes, discuss your challenges and help others with theirs, in our class forum.

This 8-week writing course, Online: Novel Writing from Idea to Manuscript with Pamela Cook, will take place online.

The course takes place on a user-friendly website called Wet Ink, designed specifically for writing courses. Each Monday during the course, a new lesson will be posted online. Participants will have the week to work through the content and post responses to exercises designed to put the theory they’re learning into practice. There will also be weekly Zoom sessions on a Wednesday night, from 6.30-7.30pm AEST, where participants will discuss the week’s lesson with Pamela and their peers.
