SUMMARY:Editing a Novel
DESCRIPTION:Are you close to finishing a manuscript? Maybe you’re stuck\, or looking at a manuscript that somehow still doesn’t work? This course\, led by a novelist and an editor\, will guide you through the necessary re-writing\, re-thinking and revision from the beginning to the end of your novel. We’ll also help you to understand the process of publication\, from submission to a publisher or agent\, through to the marketing of your book. We’ll help you sharpen and structure the story you want to tell\, and use our experience to provide a sounding board as to how readers might react to it. We say ‘the story you want to tell’\, because ultimately it is your creation.

SUMMARY:Narrative Non-Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Two of the most difficult things to master in non-fiction are voice and structure. During this week we will help you to find authentic ways to articulate your story\, rooted in your commitments and experiences as much as your knowledge and research. What role does quotation play in longform non-fiction\, and how can the words of others\, from interviewees to writers\, be deployed to develop your own story? Above all\, we will help you to translate your own lived experiences into a form that will absorb\, challenge and emotionally engage your readers.

SUMMARY:Children and Young Adult's Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Whatever stage you’re at – forging on with work-in-progress or a true beginner – this course offers helpful writing prompts and experimental exercises to encourage you on your way. We will look at building a world for your story\, either in this reality or in an entirely imagined setting\, and there will be tips and advice on how to create convincing characters and dynamite dialogue. We will also lift the lid on life as a published author. Most importantly\, you will take away a sense of delight in the process of story-making.

SUMMARY:Nature Writing
DESCRIPTION:How can we refresh our seeing and ‘green up’ our writing? What is nature writing\, and how does it differ from\, say\, a field guide to orchids? We’ll think about the self and the subject and how to balance the two\, and explore how to write positively about wildness at a time when the natural world is so vulnerable. Paying attention is a kind of love\, and our efforts begin here: getting down first words in the wild (notebooks and close looking) and then moving on from field observation to sentences and more. Nestled in deepest Devon countryside\, Totleigh Barton in May is a feast for nature writers. Bring outdoor kit if possible\, and be prepared to look at a hedge or a tree for long enough to feel it looking back at you.

SUMMARY:Fiction
DESCRIPTION:What stories will emerge from this era of ecological and social upheaval? What kind of fiction can include the natural world\, of which the human story is only a part? This course is for writers who feel challenged and inspired by the times ahead. We will consider old and new ways of writing about our predicament – including dystopia\, but also reaching beyond it\, to a literature that inhabits and celebrates the Earth.

SUMMARY:Theatre
DESCRIPTION:In the life of any performed play\, there’s a moment when the writer meets the director. This course will shine a light on that collaboration and encourage you to write with that future life in mind. What are the building blocks of a new piece of theatre\, and how do you keep faith with your ideas throughout the writing process? We’ll help you craft a practical\, stageable script\, and create strong roles for actors. We’ll also share what you can expect from working with a director at any stage – from the first inklings of a concept\, through a series of drafts\, all the way to the rehearsal room. You’ll discover how thinking like a director can expand your theatrical vision beyond the page. From kitchen table to opening night\, this course will track the life of your play and enable you to get the best from this unique relationship.

SUMMARY:Poetry: Towards a Collection
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been writing for a while and have built up a substantial body of work\, you’re no doubt asking yourself what your poems might add up to if you gather them into one manuscript.

Learn to become your best self-editor and develop your creative\, critical confidence through the week. Using inspirational and playful strategies and technical as well as creative exercises\, we’ll look at ways of identifying your key themes\, narrative threads\, preoccupations\, strengths and weaknesses – and gaps to fill. Be prepared to write bold\, fresh work and to be surprised by new poems that find you just when you least expect them.

SUMMARY:Starting to Write a Novel

This course is for writers who have started novels but have had trouble finishing – or for those who are at the very beginning. We break down the novel into its parts of story\, character\, plot and setting\, working with participants to refine each component as they start\, or re-start\, their writing journey.
