Welcome to Arvon - The Foundation For Writing
Arvon provides residential creative writing courses at four beautiful, historic houses around the UK. Our courses – tutored by professional, published writers – are world famous for the inspiration they provide to writers at every stage of their writing lives.
This year we offer you more than ever before with our Jerwood/Arvon mentoring programme and the ability to submit fiction and non-fiction proposals to Capel & Land and John Murray.
So get looking - and booking! Take a look now at the full range of courses on offer throughout the year. We are fully open access – and if you need help with the course fees you can apply for a grant with us.
