“As a literary agency we are in prime place not just to spot but nurture new talent and we thought we should offer more of that nurturing and help shape writer’s work from an earlier stage,” said Kate Nash.
Over a six month period writers will be working, with individual editorial help from an agent, to complete their novels. At the same time the Agency is offering a series of workshops and seminars on masterclass level practical creative writing topics and also on the practical business of being a new author.
