All our tutors are past winners of the Writers’ Award (plus special guest tutors), and have lived experience of underrepresentation as well as emerging publishing careers. Each course is unique, covering a wide range of topics and techniques in poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction as well as professional development. They run year-round and are announced in January, April and September. Please see below for what’s available.
