Itinerary:
The day is designed for one-on-one learning or for a small group (4 people maximum).
The schedule will be tailored to meet the needs of the student or group, but will include writing and editing sessions, feedback on a pre-prepared piece of work, discussion of the best ways to get published, how to pitch your work to an agent, the ins and outs of the publishing industry, how to promote yourself on social media and many other aspects of writing.
These courses are primarily aimed at those aspiring to be non-fiction authors, travel writers, feature writers, columnists or bloggers. For those writers who run, the day can begin with an optional easy run with Adharanand to get the creative juices flowing.
The courses take place either virtually via Zoom, or in Totnes, Devon, or in London, and can be one-on-one or for groups of up to four people. For larger groups please inquire at thewayoftherunner@gmail.com
