    This course can literally change your life! A great university personal statement is essential to getting a great offer at a top university. And for future jobs, having a standout CV and a cover letter that shows the employer why you are the perfect fit for the job can be the difference between getting called in for an interview and or having your CV ending up in the bin!

You will learn:

- more about yourself, who you are, and what you have to offer the world

- how to sell your strengths (and your weaknesses!)

- a writing style that sounds confident yet humble too

Learn critical thinking, debating and article writing, and level up both your speaking and writing!

Most teachers, and many Hollywood writers even, don't really know why some stories are excellent, and others don't really work well. The answer to this question has been a lifelong obsession for Oxford Master Matt Townend, and after twenty years of searching, he finally found the secrets! In this course, he shares the secrets of perfect stories!

On this course you will learn:

- why human beings love stories

- how to have an idea for a story

- how to structure a story - the 5 Acts and 10 beats of all stories (hence Pentact - penta means 5!)

- how to create character, setting and voice

- how to write in paragraphs

- how to use commas correctly

- how to write in past tense

and more! Stories are useful not just for budding authors - they can be used to sell, to persuade, to inspire, to teach. They are essentisal to marketing, to branding, to business. This might be the most powerful, insightful and useful course of all our Oxford Masters' courses, and it is definitely the one we are most proud of!

NB - the picture is of 'Captain America'. The Marvel cinematic universe (MCU) is a great example of good storytelling, and the most ambitious story writing franchises of our time. The Pentact Writing Course uses the star as its symbol - a star is also Captain America's symbol!
