Fiction

There are countless novels that were first conceived on an  Arvon Fiction course. It's also the perfect place to take a work-in-progress and develop it, with the help of insightful feedback and encouragement from leading authors.

As well as the general Fiction course, we have courses that focus on specific fiction genres, like Crime Fiction and Historical Fiction. We also have Work in Progress courses which are intended for those who are  working on a novel or a collection of stories.

If you are on a low income or are unwaged, you may be eligible for a grant towards the course fee (potentially up to the entire course fee).  Click here to find out more about grants or call the centre hosting the course.
