Sophie Hannah's Writing Masterclass Sophie is course director of University of Cambridge's new Master's degree in Crime & Thriller Writing, in this Masterclass Sophie will teach participants: • how to massively increase your chances of success • how to change incorrect, unhelpful and limiting beliefs • how to avoid unnecessary suffering • how to thrive in the face of the psychological and emotional challenges that life as a writer brings with it • what to do when you feel scared, confused, overwhelmed or stuck — in order to feel better, make progress and solve whatever problem you’re facing • how to retain full control over your writing dreams and journey, instead of giving your power away to the first agent or editor who shows an interest in you • how to make sure your dreams, and your definitions of success and failure, aren’t working against you • how to be your own best and most powerful ally and advocate, throughout your writing life • and how to use Sophie's amazing invention, the Literary Diagnostics method (which is very different from editing), to take your writing to the next level.
