Did you know that many of the leading writers you know today started their writing lives on Arvon Courses?

Esther Freud, Lemn Sissay, Ian McMillan, Lesley Glaister, Tanika Gupta and Mimi Khalvati all became published writers after our courses and made successful writing careers. Many become tutors on Arvon courses too!

This year over 40 of these Arvon Stars have returned to tutor courses in 2008 to help us celebrate our 40th Birthday and share their love of words and their experience of the Arvon magic with you, the writers of the future.

For a bit of fun, count how many you spot in our brochure, drop us a postcard with your name and details, and the number of Arvon stars to us at Arvon National, 42a Buckingham Palace Road, London, SW1W 0RE by January 31st 2008.

The first correct answer pulled out of the hat on February 14th 2008 will get 10% off a course in this special birthday challenge.
