Susan Hill, writer of all sorts of books and publisher of Long Barn Books, is running an online course in creative writing. It's here:

She's also set up a discussion forum for followers of the course, which you'll find here:

So far it's been fascinating. She's suggested that no one should write for more than 20 minutes at a time; and has insisted that people start their writing career by close reading, to discover how character works, for example. It's an interesting approach, and I'm really enjoying it.
