Cornerstones: Are you ready to self-edit?
We're celebrating the long weekend by preparing for our next Edit Your Novel Course!
Dear all,
Happy Friday and the anticipated long weekend! Be it celebrating the coronation of King Charles III or just enjoying the extended holiday, here’s a reminder of what we’re up to at Cornerstones HQ.
Our 18-week online CPD-accredited course, Edit Your Novel the Professional Way, is starting up again on June 5th. During the course, your tutors will teach you everything you need to know about self-editing, from planning and plotting to catching an agent’s eye. Based on On Editing, it will arm you with those all-essential skills you need, and is perfect if you:
Have a finished draft but don’t know where to go from there;
Are struggling to perfect a technique, structure, or voice;
Want to submit to agents but aren’t 100% confident.
The course runs at MA level, and you can read more about it here. Do contact the office if you have any questions, we’d be more than happy to help!
In the meantime, wishing you all a lovely long weekend,
The Cornerstones Team
“I completed the Edit Your Novel course which was invaluable in helping me take a critical look at my writing and provide me with the tools to improve it. I learned how to think about point of view, pacing and structure of chapters and the book as a whole. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Not only did the course provide practical advice and feedback, I have also made lifelong writing friends who have been incredibly supportive and helpful.” – Catherine
“I knew when I decided to do this course, with the expense considerations and the time, that if nothing else it would at least make me a better writer, but honestly it’s really surpassed my expectations. I just feel like I’ve been given a complete tool-kit.” – Cary
“Thanks a million. I’m looking forward to staying in touch with our talented, generous colleagues. I also appreciate your efforts making sure such great resources were available to us and keeping the ball rolling – and Kathryn’s outstanding contribution in so many ways as the go-to person for the course. Cornerstones feels like a home away from home now, so congrats for that and deep gratitude.” – Mike
