Starting to Write

Realise your dream

The difference between someone who has ideas and a writer working on ideas is the difference between someone who isn’t a writer and someone who is. It is this bridge we encourage you to walk across. Whether it is a novel or a poem, the tutors will assist and support you throughout the week in realising your dream. Hard work and fun are the two central criteria for the week.
