The Summer of Writing: a quick intro

About the Summer of Writing: Every summer around August, I run five one-day writing workshops on Saturdays, in Oxford, to inspire and develop your writing.

About the workshops: These full-day writing workshops are filled with creative, practical exercises. They each stand alone and you can book just one or any combination you like. All the workshops are multi-level (suitable for both beginners and experienced writers) and you can usually choose to create new ideas or to develop a work in progress.

How we choose the workshops: In March–April, add your ideas to the wish-list. I'll add any new workshops I can offer to the complete list, to create a long-list. In May, vote from the long-list for which 5 workshops run and tick the dates you can do. In late May, I announce the 5 workshops with the most votes and their dates, and you can start booking your workshops for August.
