Ready to dive deep into your novel? To finally get started on that idea that's been rattling around in your head? Or are you set to kickstart a brand new story?
The Novel Intensive is a focused, energising one-day workshop for fiction writers who want to shape their story, strengthen their craft, and build serious momentum. Whether you’re stuck in the middle of a draft, starting fresh, or circling a half-finished idea, this day is designed to move your writing forward with clarity and confidence.
� What you’ll get:
Story structure: Learn a simple framework to shape your novel and help you get your ducks in a row
Character development: Explore compelling, layered characters from literary and contemporary novels and develop tools to bring your own fictional folk to life
Conflicts & paradox: Inject tension that drives your story and pin down the paradox at the heart of your work
Dialogue that flies: Make your characters speak with purpose and personality
Pitching to agents: Understand what makes a strong pitch — and how to position your book
� Who is this workshop for:
This workshop is ideal for:
Writers working on a novel or short story collection
Writers who’ve started a draft but lost momentum
Anyone ready to get serious about fiction (no previous course required!)
� What makes it special:
Practical, hands-on sessions
A warm, supportive environment for creative risk-taking
Proven techniques from an award winning writer and experienced book-coach
Leave with tools, insight — and a clearer sense of where your book is going
Includes post-workshop group coaching call on Zoom and discounted 1-1 online mentoring sessions.
� Let’s get your manuscript moving
Places are limited to 20. Give your novel the love it deserves!
