Learn how to write with our online creative writing courses Learn how to write with the online creative writing course, hosted by the Sydney Writers' Centre in Australia. It has been created and developed by renowned author, Pamela Freeman, who has published 19 books around the world.

Teach yourself how to write from home - anywhere in the world. Kickstart your creativity and tap into your true potential. It's your first step in writing that novel you have inside you.

Our Creative Writing Course is suitable for:
  • Writing Books and Novels
  • Short Stories
  • Creative Fiction
  • Children's Books and Kids Books
  • Young Adults and Teen Novels
  • Romance Novels
  • And much more
We Get You Writing!
Each week, you’ll have a short assignment and you’ll receive feedback on it from your very own online tutor. This may be the start of a short story or writing your own novel.

In this 5-week online course, you’ll learn the skills you need to get your creative juices flowing.

We will teach you how to:
  • Kick-start the creative writing process
  • Tap into your imagination
  • Examine different types of creative writing
  • Give structure to your writing
  • Use characters and dialogue
  • Draw from everyday experiences and memories.
It doesn't matter if you're not sure if you can write.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to plot, characterise or write dialogue (we'll show you!)

It doesn't matter if you've never written before.

Maybe you used to enjoy writing when you were younger but haven't had a chance to explore your interest and passion for writing as an adult.

This is your chance to re-ignite the creativity inside you - it's your chance to create compelling and unique stories.

Too often, we get bogged down with work, family commitments and the treadmill otherwise known as ... life.

However, this online course will help transport you into a nurturing world of words and creative fiction. You could end up writing a successful short story - or even the start of a novel.

What past participants say:
Mitch Lewis say:
"I’ve just been offered my first contract, a four-book deal with Omnibus Press ... Big thanks to you, Valerie, for the Sydney Writers' Centre, to Pamela for her Creative Writing Course and to Geoff for reading my proposal. Thanks!"

Kylie Williams says:
"I just wanted to send Cathie, Valerie and the team a VERY BIG THANK YOU for coaching me in our online Creative Writing course. The information I received during the course has been invaluable and gave me the tools I needed to become one of the 28 winning co-writers of James Patterson’s Chain Thriller AirBorne.

"I still cannot believe the news… but as I have had emails from Random House and my name has been posted on Facebook, I had better get my head around it!"

David Andrews says
"I enjoyed the clarity of the course material - both the recorded lectures and the handouts. Also, feedback on assignments was consistently helpful. I now understand some key tools used in creative writing in a formal sense - previously I was aware of them without fully understanding them."

David Walker says:
"The online mode of delivery provided me with a non-threatening way of getting involved in learning about creative writing at my own pace."

The delivery was excellent and the handouts were the right quantity. The critique session was excellent - I now have a better idea and concept of the writing process. I have a lot to learn and now have some direction."

Sue Sim says:
"The written feedback was excellent - personalised and detailed. The rewriting and redrafting process has been a really valuable insight.

"It was an advantage to listen to the tutorials as many times as you wanted. Revisiting everyone's work after thinking things through was also useful."

Michael Smith says:
"I have been writing professionally as a journalist for 18 years but there was so much I didn't know until I attended this course. I left on the final evening feeling inspired rather than scared about writing fiction."

Michelle Barraclough says:
"I loved the course. It was great because it gave me the basic foundations and structure for good writing. It's not enough to have an idea or a perceived flair for writing. There are RULES! With writing, you need to understand the basics of good dialogue, characterisation, structure (scene & summary), point of view, and editing.

"Pamela gave us a really solid foundation to work from, as well as a fair dose of reality and inspiration as she shared her own stories of writing with us. So, whilst I haven't written a novel YET, I have got my outline done and have a way forward, finally!"

Ben Dalrymple says:
"I would unreservedly recommend it to anyone seeking to take their writing from ideas to create stories."

Nicole Stenson says:
"I am so pleased you put this together!! I have a two year old who I am home with four days per week so the minute he went down for his midday sleep I would dash for the computer. I found the presenter's voice and sense of humour a delight to listen to and Pamela's exercises fun.

"It was great to be able to stop the recording and go back where I missed something or was too slow in taking notes and the handouts will be a great reference for later on. The availability of the online Creative Writing Class to us 'out of towners' was great. There is not always a lot available when you get out from the main cities. Also, being able to listen to it at any time of the day was very convenient.

"Thank you to everyone involved in getting this course up and running, it was just what I was needing to do."

Mona Tannous says:
"Great - I would highly recommend this to anybody who needs any form of guidance when it comes to any writing - not just creative writing. Pamela is a true artist."
