Advancing Your Novel With Rose Tomaszewska

If you have a novel on the go, this is the course to get it moving. Running Tuesday evenings from 21st July to 8th September (6.30 pm – 8 pm), it’s eight hands-on weeks focused on pushing your draft forward, wherever you’re up to.

You will revisit the building blocks of fiction, taking a hard look at story, plot and pace, digging into your characters and sharpening your style along the way. With real professional edits to study, curated reading, and feedback from both the group and your tutor, you will come away with a toolbox of practical steps for getting your manuscript into the shape you want.

And you’re in good hands as Rose Tomaszewska is an editor and tutor with fourteen years in publishing – helping set up the riverrun imprint at Quercus and was editorial director at both Virago and Chatto & Windus before going freelance. Rose has worked with authors including Diana Evans and Christie Watson, on books that have won or been listed for the Desmond Elliott, Dylan Thomas and Women’s Prizes, and has taught at the Faber Academy and Arvon since 2019.

Places are from £229 – over 18s only.
