Introduction
You’ve refined your concept, strengthened your through-line and developed genuine characters with goals. Now you need time to get your head down and work on your manuscript.

To give you a better sense of what Work On Your Novel Intensive is all about, here are some testimonials from writers who are currently taking the course.
In Work on Your Novel the content really gets you to explore aspects of your book in detail. The workshops also allow more time to focus on yours and each other’s books and to work out what you are finding challenging. It’s been my favourite of the three courses (inc 12 week and 12 month). – Kirsty Stanley, Work On Your Novel Graduate
Is WOYN worth it? 100% It has helped me explore my story in new depths and has allowed me to rewrite my manuscript with much greater clarity, lifting it to a next level that I wouldn’t have been able to conceive of while on the 12 month course. – Sarah Roe, Work On Your Novel Graduate
I was in two minds about whether to do WOYN but it has totally been worth it. I understand my characters so much better and know exactly where my novel is going now. The live editorial sessions and workshops are invaluable and I’ve worked out a few problems by discussing them in the breakout rooms. I’d 100% recommend this course. – Kirsty Hammond, Work On Your Novel Graduate
