Masterclasses

The code will also change periodically, so please check the Members’ Area regularly. Visit our masterclasses page to book.
MASTERCLASS REPLAYS. As a member you can access any of our previous masterclasses on this site.
Each masterclass is available on a separate blog post on this site, accessible only to logged in members. Each contains a video replay, PDF downloads such as handouts and slides (where included), and links to things covered in the class.
Tree Planting
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we plant trees on behalf of our members, via our partnership with Ecologi:
- Monthly members: 2 trees per month – for every month your membership is active
- Annual members: 24 trees when you purchase an annual membership
- Masterclass attendees: 1 tree for every live masterclass you register for – whether you’re a member or not.
Find our more about our tree planting programme, or visit the Publishing Talk forest to see how, with your help, it’s growing!
