Two New Writing Courses from Curtis Brown Creative

December 15, 2011

Curtis Brown Creative has launched two new writing courses for 2012. 

Writing For Children Weekend, on 4th and 5th February, is our first course for people writing fiction for children, taught by Curtis Brown Children's Books Agent Stephanie Thwaites and experienced children's author Tony Bradman.  15 writers working on novels for children (8+) or young adults will be given intensive teaching and industry advice, to include a first page workshop and sessions on how to construct story and design characters. 

Our 3-month Spring Novel-Writing course, to run 15th March to 7th June, will be led by acclaimed novelist Christopher Wakling and Curtis Brown Creative's director and book agent Anna Davis. The course uses writing workshops, teaching sessions and one-to-one tuition to help 15 new writers to hone their debut novels for today's readers.  Featuring visits from top publishing professionals and leading authors. Visitors to the first two courses have included authors Jeffrey Archer, Jojo Moyes , D J Taylor and Harriet Evans; publishers Dan Mallory and Emma Beswetherick (Little Brown) and Francesca Main (Picador) as well as the Curtis Brown book agents. 

Curtis Brown Creative aims to provide expert teaching to aspiring writers and to foster new talent in a tough publishing environment.

Both courses are now open for applications.  Visit Curtis Brown Creative for more details.
