Dorothy Parker once said: “If you have any friends who aspire to become writers, shoot them now, while they're happy.” Harsh—but if you're here, you probably understand. Writing is hard. On this channel, I share practical techniques from 25 years as a published novelist—how to hook readers, avoid common mistakes, and write stories people can’t put down. I also wrote and taught Oxford University’s online course in Writing Fiction for ten years: https://lifelong-learning.ox.ac.uk/courses/writing-fiction-online Get my free novel-writing e-course: https://www.malcolmpryce.com/youtube I’m not affiliated with the University—but I do live in Oxford, where every street hums with literary ghosts. So we learn to write using that most unlikely of tools: a round Oxford bus ticket. You can also explore my novels (and what the critics had to say) on my website.
