Do you want to write a novel, but aren't sure where to begin? Our third CreativeWritingMatters writing guide, The Novelist's Workbook can help. This authoritative guide will get you started, show you how to develop your story, and bring it to a satisfying conclusion. Traditional, commercial or self-publishing: which will be the best route for your novel? We discuss the options. |
Since 2009, thousands of writers have entered one or more of our competitions. We've often wondered what they did next, so we decided to find out. Richard Buxton won the inaugural Exeter Story Prize in 2015, Danny Murphy won in 2018, Sophie Powell in 2017 and Laura Guthrie in 2016. Clare Harvey won the Exeter Novel Prize in 2014, and Briony Collins was the winner in 2016. E J Pepper won in 2017. They tell us what winning the prize meant to them and what they've been been writing since, over on the blog. HERE

CreativeWritingMatters was founded in 2009 and the years since have gone by very quickly. Our aim was, and still is, to offer encouragement, advice and opportunities to fellow writers through our appraisals, mentoring service and competitions. Opening a new competition submission always comes with a little thrill. Is it this one? Or this one?
During these past years we haven't only been reading, we've also been busy writers. The books on this shelf represent our output. Yes, that's right, there are three of us, but four names on the spines. Sophie is aka Lizzie Lovell. We hope you will enjoy reading our work. |
