SELF-DIRECTED
SUMMER SCHOOL
This summer learn a new creative writing skill — or even several — with our Self-Directed Summer School.
Whether you want to take your fiction or poetry further, tell stories from your life or from nature, or explore experimental writing with our brand new course, there is something here to expand your writing horizons.
Courses are priced at £30 for a limited time only (down from £75), with a discount code giving a third off all subsequent courses — making them only £20. Put together your own modular ‘school’, and go through it at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits you.
About our self-paced courses
Run through Thinkific, our self-paced writing courses are broken down into a series of weekly modules (though you can choose how fast or slow you go) with lessons, writing exercises and resource packs, plus short video introductions from the published writers behind each course.
