Calendar

This year, we are delighted to offer a retreat with childcare.  With summer in full swing, we want to offer writers with caring responsibilities to be able to have the space and time to think and write.  

Inspired to write but not sure where to begin? Or perhaps you’ve lost momentum with a work-in-progress. This online course will give you the tools and motivation to tackle a story head on and develop your own piece of short fiction, with regular workshops over the course of a month.

Findlay Napier and Boo Hewerdine write songs from observations and real life experience. During this week long course, you too, can learn the power of turning narrative into song. You’ll spend the week honing your writing skills, starting from the very basics to well-crafted, finished pieces.

Think, reflect and write from Monday to Saturday and give your work-in-the-progress the attention it deserves.

The essay is a broad and rich literary form that can articulate and explore ideas, experiences, emotions and the everyday. This course will cover a range of techniques and issues, drawing upon examples of fine work from across decades.
