Want to make a living through writing?

Thought of approaching an agent or

publisher but don't know how?

You're in the right place. Profwriting.com is a new online network for writers looking to brush up their skills, showcase work and have it critiqued by peers and experts. Our expertise has grown out of MA Professional Writing, which we run at University College Falmouth – check out our full and part-time courses.

Our first affordable mini writing courses are live, there are writing opportunities on our forum, and writers are posting novels and scripts for peer-review. We want to hear what you think – critiquing fellow writers is the backbone of our MA. We have agents and literary scouts looking at the site – so do start posting up your work.
