Take your writing to the next level with TLC
TLC is delighted to announce the return of our two self-editing courses, developed in partnership with expert tutors. Starting in April, these courses are for writers who have a work in progress or completed manuscript and are working on either a novel, or a piece of full length creative non fiction.
Self Editing: Fiction with Jon Barton begins April 17th.
Self Editing: Non Fiction with Xanthi Barker begins April 30th.
“The TLC Self Editing course was so very useful. Jon was brilliant. The content and delivery has really given me the confidence to be bold in my editing. I got straight to it and am busy totally restructuring the first quarter of my novel for submission. I was really struggling to be objective with it before, so the course has really made a difference to how I now approach editing my own work.”

“I thought I could already edit pretty well but Xanthi’s experience and the canny way in which the course was presented really opened up new possibilities. I now feel very confident that I have exactly the tools I need to edit my work. I am actually deeply surprised that so much could be learned about this! All in all an excellent course that did exactly what it said it would plus, unexpectedly, so much more too!”
