Please contact us if you’d like to discuss the suitability of these courses for you.
Our day courses are suitable for those without much or any experience in the world of creative writing, as well as for those with some previous experience. In a friendly, welcoming, setting you’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced tutors.
