There Is Only Narrative: Non-Fiction Demystified is a new 12-month project launched in partnership with the Eve White Literary Agency. In this free, online masterclass Damien Le Bas will explore how they wrote their non-fiction titles The Stopping Places and The Drowned Places with a focus on structure in non-fiction.

The masterclass will include discussion, a written exercise and opportunity to ask the author questions.

It is paired with a survey on barriers to writing non-fiction. Click here to complete the short survey and receive a free guide to writing a non-fiction proposal document, which has been written by the agents at the Eve White Literary Agency.
