If you’re finding it hard to make progress with your novel or grappling with edits, sign up for Sarah’s summer school. She delivers the sessions in such a relaxed, warm and relatable way that I enjoyed every minute and learnt so much. Don’t think twice !

We will be opening up summer school registration next week for 2 weeks only. Six weeks live taught classes plus recordings and materials taught by our founder @saranaidinecox there are limited places and we start in September so watch this space! cheshirenovelprize.com/summer-school



Can not wait to read this debut from the amazingly talented @ihussainwriter ❤️
