former students with major publishing deals
We foster supportive groups of talented students. We're here to support you on your journey from first idea to final draft. Over 300 of our students have gained deals with major publishers. Some have written international bestsellers, others have won prizes, and yet more have gained representation with literary agents.
Bethia Hale studied on our Writing Your Novel course in 2021, and now her debut novel Any Day Now has been sold to Phoenix by Curtis Brown’s Viola Hayden in a two-book deal. To celebrate the landmark moment of 300 students with commercial book deals, we’re running a flash fiction competition on the theme of ‘Landmarks’.
