The Overlook Press' own Susan Hill is offering a free Creative Writing Course! She's already being inundated with entrants! Here are the details straight from Ms. Hill:
1. It will begin in September 2007.
2. It will be on this blog but in a separate section from the main page - it will have its own dedicated area and all I will do on the main page is flag up the next lesson.
3. It will be open to anyone at all.
4. It will be FREE.
5. I will not be able to comment in detail on whole manuscripts but I will comment on individual work to a certain extent.
6. You will need to sign up for the course simply so that I will know if I am addressing one, or a thousand and one people. No comittment otherwise - I shan't know if you are there or not unless you comment etc.
7. You will need do some homework and this will include READING as well as writing. I do not believe you can learn to write well unless you read well, and read the work of those who have done the job better than you or I will ever do. So there will be reading and studying fiction and non-fiction as well as writing it.
Sign up today for your chance to study with the author of THE VARIOUS HAUNTS OF MEN and THE PURE OF HEART. And maybe your book will be featured in a future Overlook Press catalog!
