Our online fantasy writing course program
Write an outstanding science fiction or fantasy book with our specialist SFF team for adult, middle-grade, and young adult speculative fiction and we’ll help you find a literary agent too.
How do you bring a sense of true wonder to your story? How does your fantasy novel become a bestseller loved by writers of all ages? Where do you start if you want to write an epic fantasy or a fantasy series? How much should remain familiar and how much should be magical or speculative for a transporting but ‘feels real’ reading experience?
If you’re beginning to write in the fantasy, science fiction or speculative genres (SFF) or you have novel in progress, our expert SFF department will help you structure and write your story in manageable chunks to spare you from feeling overwhelmed.
Your year with us begins with our famous Classic Course to give you a foundation in world-building to develop your plot. You’ll write your story with coaching from our team of expert enthusiasts who will be delighted to work with you on all things speculative – whether that’s horror or cyberpunk, magical realism or gothic, classic dystopia or epic fantasy; we love it all. We’ll bring magic to your science and science to your magic.
