Course Overview

All your teachers are genuine, commercially-published, practicing writers. In every session, you’ll actually write and get reactions. We believe that this makes our course unique. Your time here will be a decisive stage in the development of your writing.

Your learning will be supported by our Creative Writing Fellows, who include: Patience Agbabi, Philip Gwyn Jones, Daisy Johnson, Steven Hall, and Philip Pullman.

Our graduates’ recent achievements mean that agents and publishers really listen when they hear you’re with us. All major projects gaining a distinction are looked at with a view to representation by:

  • Top agents Felicity Bryan Associates (who visit us each year)
  • Legendary London publisher Philip Gwyn Jones.

People like this are the gatekeepers of literary success; our aim is to get them to open those gates for you.
