Frequently Asked Questions


When do these courses start and finish?

The courses start now and never end! These are completely self-paced online courses - you decide when you start and when you finish.

How long do I have access to the courses?

Forever! After enrolling, you have unlimited lifetime access to these courses - across any and all devices you own.


Does the teacher provide feedback?

No. If you are interested in receiving feedback on your project, we encourage you to check out KYD's Manuscript Assessment Service: killyourdarlings.com.au/shop/manuscript-assessments/


How do I access my courses?

All our online workshops are hosted at workshops.killyourdarlings.com.au, via the Teachable platform.
