I've namechanged....for various reasons. I've been working as a freelance writer for the past 8 years. Prior to that I was an actor. I did well almost as soon as I moved into comedy sketch writing for the radio and then had a family which scuppered me a little bit.
Comedy and radio didn't work once I'd moved out of London and had a small baby to cope with.
I then wrote romantic historical fiction...published in The People's Friend. Also wrote and still do write a lot of web content...and editing other people's manuscripts.
Do you think I could offer short writing courses locally?
I feel a little unsure because I don't have a degree in writing...this means that technically I'm not strong. I rely on instinct with most of my work...both fiction and scripts...I just understand how to format and create through knowledge I've garnered by reading, listening and watching other people's work.
I need to get out of the house...I've been working alone for too long. Would people be interested in attending a course designed to help them flourish creatively in their writing? Would they expect me to have technical knowledge I don't have? Help! I'm lacking in confidence too...:(
