Advanced critical workshop: fiction

This is a supportive but rigorous workshop for experienced writers, ideal for those who have completed beginner or intermediate fiction writing courses. Students' work will be discussed and critiqued, and you will benefit from an in-depth exploration of approaches to writing and revising fiction. All forms of fiction writing - long or short - are supported on this course.

Students like: "the quality of the writing and the highly intelligent feedback": "supportive atmosphere, astute feedback, chance to discuss opinions"; "outstanding teaching"; "the feedback/workshop structure and interaction with other students; "the hands-on approach"; "good, positive feedback and a committed tutor who was really supportive."
