former students with major publishing deals
Study with Curtis Brown Creative – the only writing school from a major literary and talent agency. We've been helping writers tell their stories since 2011. Watch the welcome video below to learn more about our philosophy.
Our stellar tutor team is comprised of celebrated authors, all with multiple published books and established teaching experience. Literary agents from Curtis Brown and C&W, and editors from Big Five publishers and indie presses, regularly feature as guest speakers. We're here to help you become the best writer you can be, demystify the publishing industry and empower our students to pitch their novels with confidence.
Over 280 of our students have gained deals with major publishers. Some have written international bestsellers, others have won prizes, and yet more have gained representation with literary agents. A great many groups of our students continue to support each other years after their courses are over. No matter what level you study at with us – all our courses will introduce you to a supportive community of budding writers.
As a Curtis Brown Group company, we work closely with the literary and talent agent teams at Curtis Brown and C&W – who represent some of the most successful authors in the world. We have specially designed courses with dedicated lessons led by literary agents, many courses with guest masterclasses from agents, and we help our selective-entry course students submit to agents at the end of their courses.
