Taught and led by the National Academy of Writing’s Director Richard Beard and by Fiona Sampson, this course offers a unique opportunity for those with a commitment to developing their writing to meet and work with leading practitioners.

The programme will explore aspects of effective narrative writing, from the generation of ideas to methodologies for editing. It is designed for those with at least some, and possibly quite an extensive, background in creative writing who are looking for inspiration from a course which is above all about the practice and art of writing.
