This is your opportunity to give your writing the time and attention it deserves.

 

Join in with structured sessions and social events, all online and from the comfort of your own home. You can also choose to dip in and out around other commitments you may have.

 

You will also get one-to-one feedback on your work throughout the week.

 

For writers of all genres, at all levels, including beginners.
