Welcome to the fictionfire website: I hope you'll find lots to interest you.

My name is Lorna Fergusson and I offer creative writing courses here in Oxford, along with writers' support services including editorial advice and mentoring.

 Please also take a look at my blog: http://literascribe.blogspot.com for my take on the business of books and the writing life. 

AUTUMN COURSE DATES!

2ND OCTOBER:                                   MAKING MEMORABLE SCENES

16TH OCTOBER:                                  SHAPE UP AND MAKE YOUR PITCH

Autumn is a time for personal reassessment, when many people find themselves in meditative or explorative mood.

It's a time to learn new skills and enjoy personal development. Do please visit my  Course Dates and Details  page for descriptions of my third set of fictionfire creative writing courses.                                      

Both courses will be held once more in the glorious surroundings of Trinity College, Oxford. Please go to Course Venue and Directions for more information. 

 If you have any questions or if you want to suggest a topic for future courses, please contact me at info@fictionfire.co.uk

In the meantime, if you need help with firing up your imagination and fuelling your self-belief, go to Writing Inspiration, where amongst other things, you can read the latest Quote of the Week.
