Unsure where to start with writing convincing and natural dialogue? Confused about point of view and tenses? Should you plan your story or run with the idea you have? This is the ideal basics area of the academy to get you started.

In this classroom, you can sit and enjoy Morgen's chats with a variety of authors at different stages of their career. In the 'Introduction' videos, you'll meet the author and learn about them and their writing. In subsequent 'Books' videos, they will talk about one of that author's books in more depth.

Develop your writing skills with these video tutorials. Includes: - More is more #2 onwards (#1 is available in the free area of the academy) - Further pacing sessions - Further prompts sessions In this area of the academy there will also be the recordings of the live Writing 101 Q&A sessions as well as other live and recorded workshops.

Although aimed primarily at fiction writers, Morgen provides the tools for honing your writing until it shines. In the free 'Editing Micro Fiction' and 'Editing Flash Fiction' tutorials, she provided a piece she wrote for these sessions - which you can whittle down yourself if you pause the videos - and guides you in what to keep and what can be removed without losing the essence of the piece. As well as the live/recordings of the weekly 'Editing 101' sessions (where you can ask her questions about editing), there will be other tutorials where Morgen shares her knowledge gained from almost twenty years of editing 300+ manuscripts for publishers and directly for (with) authors.

Twice a week Morgen will be hosting two FREE live Q&A sessions... Every Tuesday 5pm UK time: Writing 101 ~ ask Morgen anything about writing Every Thursday 5pm UK time: Editing 101 ~ ask Morgen anything about editing
