How To Become A Successsfu­l Writer!

- By Marian Ashcroft

If you want more success with your writing – here’s the answer. For the past thirty-three years The Writers Bureau has been running a home-study Creative Writing course that teaches people how to write, get published and earn an extra income. ‘Most people can be taught to write for publicatio­n,’ claims Susie Busby, Principal of the writing college, ‘as long as they want to write, are willing to learn and put in the time and effort required. Our students prove that. They come from all walks of life and have very different educationa­l background­s. Yet, after studying with us many will see their name in print for the first time.’ The Creative Writing course offered by The Writers Bureau covers all genres – articles, short stories, novels, books, scripts etc. so students get a chance to explore all types of writing to find where their interests and talents lie. Students also receive individual, personal tuition from a profession­al writer who gives guidance on style, technique and marketing. ‘The course gives a student confidence in their work and the know-how to increase their chances of publicatio­n,’ explains Susie. ‘Unfortunat­ely, the untrained writer is more likely to have their work returned to them, not because they can’t write, but because they haven’t followed the rules of the publishing world. And that, in a large part, is what we teach – how to make your work acceptable to those who will pay for it.’ The college also provides a whole support system to novice writers that includes their tutors, their advisors, free resources and chance to converse with other writing students on their website. The Writers Bureau is so confident in the training and support it provides that it gives an amazing money back guarantee – if a student doesn’t earn their fees back through published writing by the end of their course the college will refund them in full. Plus, the course comes on 15-day trial so you can see for yourself the quality of the training on offer.
