Many people have questions about doing online courses
You may have had the experience of doing a course where you received minimal feedback or found the course processes are simply an online text book.
At the Writers’ Studio, which was founded in 1992, we have developed our own unique in-house systems that deliver inspiring and powerful online content whilst you work through your course with a group of like-minded writers and your personal online tutor.
You can access the site and course materials and participate in your online group as it suits you 24/7. Read some recent course testimonials below to get a sense of how the course has worked for our online participants.
The 4-Week Unlocking Creativity course is a stand-alone course, and also a prerequisite for our other online courses including our Six-Week Short Story Online courses and our 10-Month Novel & Script First Draft Online course, for those wanting to write a novel or screenplay.
They say you can’t be taught how to write, but you can learn. We believe the art is in the doing.
