Meet Your Instructor

Meet Your Instructor Jules Horne

I'm Jules Horne, and I've been a writer ever since I got a pencil in my hand. 

I started writing fiction at primary school in Scotland, fast forward and I've written stories, spoken word, scripts, radio news and features, and had stories and radio dramas broadcast on BBC Radio.

I've made a creative career out of writing, whether my own publishing projects, commissions, or commercial creative, including copywriting, audio tours, websites, chocolate descriptions (!), and over 13 years of teaching Creative Writing students at undergraduate and MA level with The Open University.

And guess the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire writing and teaching journey! Most aspiring authors learn by osmosis, and many write an entire novel draft before getting any feedback.

The expectation seems to be that reading loads of books will teach you solid writing craft. But from my 13 years' teaching experience, I've learned that authors can improve their writing far more quickly and effectively through close-reading, and by gathering solid techniques from established authors.

Deliberate practice is an amazing tool for learning writing techniques, yet it's not widely used by authors. That's what inspired me to launch Method-Writing.com, and create affordable online courses, with the aim of helping authors like you to quickly develop your craft skills to a new level, whatever your genre, stage, style or favourite writers.

But I'm guessing you want to know whether I can actually help you! Well, I've coached hundreds of students as a tutor with The Open University. Several have gone on to build their own author careers, get published and land copywriting jobs, and it's a great delight to hear about their successes. This is the inaugural launch of my new writing craft course teaching my unique deliberate practice and visual methods (hence the special offer).

I'd love you to join and be part of it!

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this course for?

All levels! Deliberate practice methods work for everyone - beginners, experienced indie authors, MA-level writers, anyone who wants to learn techniques from their favourite writers, even students of stylistics. It works for any genre, and can easily be adapted to your needs and interests.

Do I need to learn grammar?

No. The course uses a few language words already in most writers' toolkit, and everything is explained.

How long do I have access to the course?

You have lifetime access, and can learn at your own pace.

What’s a pre-launch?

It's a reduced-cost launch of the course, including some special bonuses, before its full public release at the normal price of $197. 

Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?

YouTube is a tremendous resource, but it's hard to find the focused, effective learning points that will really help your writing quickly. So, you can waste a lot of time. This course focuses in on powerful techniques that you can use right away, gathered into one 10-module course..

Do I need to have writing experience before starting?

No. Deliberate practice (like music and sport) can meet you where you are. You can jump in - and benefit from focused, craft-oriented practice - at any stage.

Should I invest in DELIBERATE PRACTICE FOR CREATIVE WRITERS before investing in an MA or MFA?

That's a great idea! College study is an exciting time that flies by in a woosh. In my experience, many students come to it without fundamentals in place, so they don't get best value from their investment. At the very least, this course is an affordable way to check in with key writing craft and language concepts, and be ready to devote precious MA/MFA time to your creative art, rather than craft techniques.
