Faber Academy: An Introduction to Writing a Novel [SOLD OUT]

Full description

Writing a Novel is Faber Academy’s flagship course, which has seen alumni such as S J Watson, Saara El-Arifi, Rachel Joyce, Gail Honeyman and Alice Feeney go on to conquer bestseller lists around the world. Designed by the Director of our Fiction Programme, Richard Skinner, it’s a six-month deep dive into the art of the novel, with sessions on every aspect you’ll need to take you from the bare bones of a draft to a finished novel.

It’s also a big commitment and a leap of faith.

In this one-hour session, you’ll meet course tutor Richard T. Kelly and take part in a taster workshop, and meet Faber Academy staff – as well as getting to know your potential course-mates.

You’ll also meet the Faber Academy team, who will be your day-to-day support throughout your time on the course, and get advice on how to make your application stand out.
