Always been interested in writing, but just aren't sure where to begin? Or maybe you've been writing for a while but would like to learn more about various literary techniques - or share your work with others interested in writing? Our beginners' classes are always very popular - we have two evening classes and a morning class beginning in September, as well as a Beginning To Write Poetry class.

And for those of you looking for something beyond Beginners, try out one of these workshops! Our intermediate creative writing workshop is ideal for anyone who's taken a Beginners class with us previously, and we also have a Poetry workshop and a Novel In Progress workshop. We're also delighted to announce our new 4-week specialist courses, for people interested in a particular area but unable to commit to long classes - do check out what's on offer!
