Are you the kind of writer who’s got a lot of ideas camped out in your brain (and on your phone) but you’re struggling to commit time or space to building out your work? Have you been working for what feels like forever on a project that’s lost its vim? Would you like to gain some perspective, inspiration and sage advice from bestselling and award-winning authors and mentors?
In our comprehensive writing programme for the new year, you will have the opportunity to learn from leading writers and publishing professionals to develop your ideas, connect with other writers and help you achieve your goals in 2023 – and beyond.
Over the course of two weeks, participate in writing surgeries with Shelley Weiner, get your creativity flowing with the award-winning novelists Natasha Pulley and Andrew Meehan, and take part in illuminating workshops with the celebrated editorial director of Hamish Hamilton, Hannah Chukwu, who has worked with Bernardine Evaristo, Zadie Smith and Arundhuti Roy, among others.
Further speakers and programme to be announced shortly.
As well as learning from our tutors, you will also join a supportive community of fellow writers through our online Slack channel, with the opportunity to network, share work and build lasting writing friendships.
This programme has been carefully curated with your lifestyle in mind – you can attend live sessions when it suits you and catch up on recordings when it doesn’t. You’ll get access to recordings and the valuable online community until 12 February 2023, which means that wherever you are in the world, and whatever your schedule, this is your chance to start your writing year with a bang.
The full programme for the online writers’ retreat will be announced shortly.

Writers of all levels, at any stage in their creative journey
Writers of all genres and forms (please note that this programme will focus on fiction-writing, though the skills are transferable to all forms of writing)
