On 5th Sep, I'm teaching a Novel Writing Masterclass in #Winchester. Just 1 spot left - I'd love an aspiring novelist to fill it as I'm not planning courses in '27. If you're wrestling with a novel, or dreaming of starting one, maybe the spot is for you! helencullen.com/store/novel-…
Winchester is just an hour from London on the train, and The Arc is juts 5 mins from the train station, so could be one for Londoners also. Here's to all the future novels waiting to be written. Maybe see you there! #WritingMasterclass
I’m honoured and delighted to be a judge for the Nero New Writers Prize for unpublished writers in Ireland and the UK - please see @nerobookawards for more info and all the fabulous prizes to be won! 💚
