About this course

From Alison: 'When I moved from writing for pleasure to writing as my career I was incredibly excited. It was something I had dreamed of for years so achieving that was genuinely brilliant.

But... over time I realised that something had changed. Writing was starting to feel like a chore. I was facing writers' block, which I'd never experienced before, and I was struggling to  remember who I wanted to be as an author. Somewhere along the road I'd fallen out of love with writing.'

This course is for anyone who finds that story even a little bit familiar. Whether you're published or unpublished, whether you've been writing for 1 year or 20, we can all have moments when we lose our sense of joy. This course is designed to help you get that back.

This course is designed to be studied at your own pace. There is no direct tutor support - everything you need is within the course for you to work on whenever suits you. You will have access to the video tutorials and downloads for 1 year from the date of registration.
