Your Summer of Writing

Create yourself a Summer of Writing: book a selection of workshops to inspire and develop your writing – whether you've never written before or have heaps of experience.

These one-day writing workshops are filled with creative, practical exercises. Each workshop can stand alone and they’re all multi-level (suitable for both beginners and experienced writers). For most workshops, you can choose to create new ideas or to develop a work in progress.

You can also read what the workshops are like, my Tips for a Summer of Writing, and suggestions for visiting Oxford.
