If you are serious about a full-time writing career, a literary career or you simply want to gain an advanced level of writing skills then you should explore the Free Facts Pack provided for this course.

This is the most comprehensive writing course available—and it's brilliant! You will learn about writing styles and genre, how to plot out all kinds of fiction and non-fiction, editing and fine-tuning your work, how to get published, and how to market your work and participate in workshops. You will gain advanced knowledge and skills in writing, drafting, rewriting and polishing your manuscripts to the stage of a professional writer.

This is an ideal course if you have already undertaken a creative writing course, a short story course or any general writing course; however, you can certainly undertake this course even if you have no previous experience. You will need an aptitude for writing and reading, though.

Keep in mind, this is a writing course for people who really want to learn advanced writing skills. It is even suitable for those wanting to progress and undertake a degree in writing through university.

There are two pathways into this course:

Pathway 1: Direct entry into the Advanced Professional Writing and Editing Course

Pathway 2: Completion of the Professional Writing and Editing Course then completion of the Professional Writing and Editing Upgrade Course

Both pathways cover the same subjects and materials, and both end in the same result. Pathway 1 is for those who are committed to the full program; Pathway 2 are for those who aren't certain if they want to go the entire distance.
