Please respond to this series of questions. They help me to understand your writing level and organise the groups we'll work in.

When I think about doing a course in fiction writing, I most look forward to…

When I think about doing a course in fiction writing, I am most worried about…

Please write a few lines to help me understand your experience…writing impulses in your youth; what forms [poetry, TV, novels etc] you’re interested in or work with; any creative writing classes or workshops you’ve attended; any publications, big or small

What do you think your strengths are, as a writer [of fiction, or anything]. Avoid telling me about your weaknesses in the process!

Please tell me about any personal circumstances or disability needs that may affect you during the course. (Examples: I suffer from back pain and cannot sit for extended periods. I need the Powerpoint after the session for dyslexia needs etc)

Have you worked with Leone before? If YES, please give details below.

What is the title, word count and genre of your novel in progress? Please indicate in no more than half a page, the decisions you have already made for your novel. Ie: primary and secondary characters, where it takes place, time frame, how many POVs, etc

Please send Leone a sample of your BEST writing from the novel in progress. That does NOT mean you think it’s perfect – just that you’re as proud of it as you can be (500 words)

NOTE: This sample may be the basis for me suggesting you change course levels.
