Get Your Writing Craft & Career Moving ... And Give It Somewhere to Go!
There’s more than one way to be a writer.
At B2W Academy, we question received wisdom, challenge rigid writing rules and get practical about what works for your story and ambitions.
Perhaps you’ve been burned by a writers’ group, frustrated by a course or MFA, or felt shut out by an old boys’ club. Perhaps you’re simply writing alone and wondering how to find your people.
You’re welcome here.
Join fellow screenwriters and novelists to strengthen your pages, share ideas and leads, and plan your next steps, with ongoing support from me, Lucy V Hay.
Take your writing seriously. Ask the awkward questions. Find your own way, with people in your corner.
A massive library. Fresh insights every month.
Ask your questions. Learn from their experience. Start with what your project needs.
Explore 300+ hours of courses, masterclasses and replays covering writing, editing, pitching, submissions, publishing and marketing.
Plus, join our monthly sessions and Q&As with industry pros. We’ve welcomed producers, publishers, literary agents, writing gurus, editors, authors, screenwriters and filmmakers, with plenty more coming to chat to us next!
See An Editor At Work
Our live edits and first-line surgeries show you what “kill your darlings” really means on real pages.
Watch me sharpen imagery, trim dialogue and cut story fat. Take those tools back to your own draft.
There's also check-ins, goal-setting, trainings, masterclasses and more every month.
'Like A Mentor In Your Pocket!'
I’m on hand for your writing and career questions in our dedicated WhatsApp community.
Chat with your fellow Bangers, share ideas and leads, and get support between sessions. Our quarterly accountability check-ins and goal-setting sessions help you turn good intentions into action.
Join YOUR Way!
Come to live sessions, watch the replays or do a bit of both. Ask questions in the group or send them directly to me.
Whether you’re neurodivergent, anxious or juggling writing with work and caring commitments, you can participate on your own terms.
No pressure to attend everything or be the loudest person in the room.
