Hi, I'm new here. I just turned 22 and just finished a degree in illustration only to realise my passion is writing and always has been. Should I invest in a creative writing course of some kind? And if so, what kind of course would be most beneficial?

Join a group or class as a great way of getting feedback . Immersing yourself in a writer's community is a great way to start. Good Luck.

Hi Ella is there not a community center or college near you that will be doing a course in September? There is also a site online UEA University of East Anglia, they do online writing courses all the time for free. Hope this helps.

Hello Ella,

What a great combination, you can illustrate your own books.

If you'd like learn how to write non-fiction there is a class starting on October 14 that sounds very promising:

I signed up for it yesterday, would be great to see you there!
