Learn to write a bestseller from the author of the book on every editor and agent’s desk.
Next course: 7 October 2026
You can spend months drafting a novel. But if the structural bones aren’t in the right place, it’s unlikely to hook readers or agents. Our intensive courses can teach you how to think like a screenwriter and apply the principles of dramatic storytelling to your novel. You’ll learn how to tap into the narrative blueprint underlying all successful stories to transform your novel-writing.
Alternatively, go bespoke: we can offer story training that’s entirely tailored to you or your organisation’s learning objectives or based around a current project.

We present the complete introductory chapter to John Yorke’s new book, Trip to the Moon.

John Yorke explains how a conversation with his father first revealed the true power of words and set him on a lifelong exploration of story.

John Yorke reflects on two decades of writer training for the BBC and how that inspired both his bestselling book Into the Woods and its long-awaited follow-up, Trip To The Moon.
