Online Workshops

How about a writing workshop from an international author, trainer and publisher that you can complete in the comfort of your own home? We'll cover all the elements of how to write your book, whether you're working on your picture book for 0 – 5 year olds, penning the next Diary of Wimpy Kid or something for 5 – 15 year olds, or setting to on your grand opus, The Novel. And all without having to travel anywhere, book accommodation, or give up a weekend of your busy life.

Furthermore, you can choose between two methods of doing your workshop:

Instant Download – sign up and get all eight modules for instant download to your computer to do entirely at your own pace. Please note that for this version there is no feedback from Jill, even if it is mentioned in any of the course material. And that may be just want you want! Your own headspace and your own pace, with no interference from anyone until you're good and ready. When that moment comes, you can sign up for Premium Services for continuous support and information from Jill, and perhaps the chance to connect with some other writers.

Eight week programme with feedback – over eight weeks, you will receive modular class materials via email. After weeks Four and Eight of the programme, you'll be able to send Jill some work-in-progress for detailed and personal feedback. Then at the end of the programme you can join the rest of your virtual programme members for a final round-up in a webinar/phone conference, and become part of the wider community of Write Good Stuff writers for on-going support once the course is over.

It's really that simple. Choose your programme, choose your method of receiving it, and your writing journey begins ... with just a click of a button

Testimonials

"I've just finished Jill's 'How to Write Children's Books' online. It was a great course! - very in-depth and practical. Since finishing it I have noticed a large improvement in my writing, and also in my confidence as a writer. I now feel I have the skills to 'write good stuff'. Thanks, Jill you've made a bit difference to my writing, and I'll definitely keep in touch."

"Thank you, Jill, for a wonderful and very informative online course. I've come out a much better equipped writer. Keep up the good work!"
Melanie on Facebook

"Just a quick email to give you feedback on the online novel writing course. I absolutely looooooved it!! I rewrote the beginning of my novel probably 8 times trying to improve it, with all the lovely tips and ideas from your weekly assignments ... "
Marizette

"Many thanks for all the modules. I have found every one extremely positive and encouraging as well as being reader-friendly and full of valuable advice. The practical examples you gave of rewriting a passage in a different style, or for show-not-tell, or 'spit and polish', were particularly useful on top of the more general advice. The dialogue advice was also especially valuable as I find dialogue to be a challenge. I look forward to some feedback on that when I send you a piece for comment!"
