Welcome to the latest edition of the Writers' World e-zine.
Well there's been a big hiatus since we last spoke, but we are emerging from hibernation with some exciting news. We are pleased to announce the upcoming
Writers' World FUNDAMENTALS OF FICTION WRITING course.
Currently in production with a release date early next year, the plan is for this course to be useful and enlightening, providing the writer with real impetus to write.
The course will help with technique, inspiration and motivation
Students will get a good start on a novel, beginning a book at the start of the course, and working on it as the course progresses.
The best short pieces written by students will be included in a printed anthology at the end of the course
Writers can swap ideas and get feedback from other writers in a secure environment
with our new social network.
A big bonus is that the tuition fee includes a big stack of useful (and some entertaining) books to add to your personal library.
A joint venture between Writers' World and Smink Works Books publishing, the course will include knowledge from experienced writers and teachers.
But we want to make sure the course is relevant to writers of all ages and experiences. We have put together a SURVEY* for this purpose and we'd love to hear your wants, desires and general feedback. (As a thank you we are offering a 10% discount on course fees)

"A writer's problem does not change. It is always how to write truly and having found out what is true to project it in such a way that it becomes part of the experience of the person who reads it."
