We have new courses being added in different places from an organic farm in Suffolk to a Manor house in Somerset. \u00a0Do keep an eye on our website or email us if you want more information.\u00a0<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/h3>

The core skills and techniques taught across all genres will build on each other and be applicable to all creative writing (yes, there must be dialogue in memoir and drama in a short story!). \u00a0The three courses will suit those who have already started on their creative writing journey and there will be an opportunity to \u00a0develop, work on and get feed back on your own project. Equally, the days will be hugely beneficial to those who are completely new to writing. \u00a0All that is necessary is an enthusiasm to explore the written word in the safe hands of our world-class tutors.<\/p>
