Cover of One Day
Novelist and screenwriter John Niven will be running the Guardian Masterclass in March, along with David Nicholls, bestselling author of One Day.
There are still places available on the course, which runs for two days in London. Here's a bit more information:
Lean 100-page script or 500-page doorstop novel - which form is the best vehicle for your idea? Is one medium easier to work in than the other and which is better to take to the marketplace?
Having written bestselling novels (Kill Your Friends), had an original screenplay turned into $13m action film (Roadkill) and turned his own books into screenplays (Kill Your Friends, The Amateurs), Scottish author John Niven is uniquely placed to offer insights into finding the right medium for your message. Expect harsh language and indiscreet anecdotes about the rocky road that leads from the lonely garret to poolside at the Chateau Marmont.
The course will run over two days at the home of the Guardian and Observer in King's Cross, London, and will include a special guest seminar by the best-selling author of One Day, David Nicholls.
