Novelist Online Fiction Writing Course

As a global, best-selling and prize-winning author and Jungian life coach, I’ll get you started, keep you going, help you overcome blocks and limiting beliefs and write with joy and flow.

Join my unique nine-part Novelist online memoir writing course with a small group of like-minded souls.

Whether it’s a thriller, family saga, whodunnit, science fiction, or young adult novel, I can help you. The core elements of what readers and publishers look for are the same:

  • A cracking story in which readers can lose themselves.
  • Characters we care about and also sometimes dislike robustly!
  • Convincing dialogue
  • Richly-described scenes that transport the reader into another world.
  • A fresh perspective where we learn something new – about the outside world, about others and through that about ourselves – making us feel less alone on our life journey

Writing is one of the most joyful creative pursuits we have. Unleash your inner writer and join me on this unique nine-part course.

I’m going to take you through my whole process and tailor it for your particular challenges and needs. The beauty of a small group is that it allows for customisation as well as collaborative support and inspiration.

Writing is a way to free yourself from the constraints of time and place, to transcend our physical or mental challenges, yet so few of us give ourselves the time or the permission to write. Do yourself a favour, sign up here and allow me to help guide you along the way. 

“Linda puts you at ease. She attunes to your challenges and celebrates every word you conjure. I love her warm, confident style, wide open as a blue sky but at the same time grounded in acres of experience and the iron-clad encouragement to mute the ego which only tries to make you stay small and safe when there is a world out there of adventure and abundance. I probably would remain small and safe if not for Linda Davies! Thank you Linda!”

ALICE R.

“It has been such an inspiring course and has got us back into the swing of regular writing, which we had lost over the past few months. We are in your debt for this and appreciate the ongoing support. Linda, we loved the course and really enjoyed meeting our fellow writers! We have been impressed by the way you combined practical writing tools and wise sayings from your deep personal experience and Jungian insights. The overall result was supportive, encouraging and inspiring! We have been re-energised to get back to writing, which is an achievement in itself! Many thanks from us both. You are wonderful!”

JULIE BRUTON-SEAL & MATTHEW SEAL, AUTHORS

“Thank you so much Linda for the notes & feedback to us all. I was stunned by the writings of my co students- but most of all by what you had enabled us to do in such a short time. Of course, we are a self selected group who obviously feel we have something to say, but your guidance has been both motivating and inspirational. I will, forever, be grateful to you for setting me on the right path and for your encouragement and positivity. You created a very enriching experience for us all.”

“When I finished writing my book I knocked on the doors literary consultancies but felt I was being upsold editorial services as opposed being given some genuine advice. Linda read my sample work closely, helped me perfect my pitch and offered me the right advice at the right time. Her encouragement and open hearted advice was exactly what I needed to propel me forward on my publishing journey. I am grateful to her for her time and energy and am often in touch for her expert advice.”
