Jules Horne

Jules Horne is an award-winning fiction writer and playwright from Scotland. She has 13 years' experience teaching creative writing for The Open University, where she cowrote the MA script strand. She's an experienced writing coach and editor specialising in multimedia and multimodal writing craft. She writes the books she wishes she'd had when starting out: practical, professional how-tos that cut to the chase, and the pro secrets no one tells you, till you join the writing industries.

Her latest book, Deliberate Practice for Creative Writers, combines writing craft and the science of excellence in a practical guide to improving your writing, faster. It draws on inspiration from 10,000 hours, Tiny Habits and Jules' wide experience in the writing professions and music-making. Discover how close-reading and learning from the greats can take your writing to new heights!

Jules' favourite writers include Angela Carter and Franz Kafka, and her darkly funny fiction has a touch of Scottish Gothic.
