Every year we hold several one-day masterclasses to support our students’ writing practice. These are deep dives into a particular area of writing craft – whether that be dialogue, characterisation, settings or pace. They are held in April and June at the Jubilee Library in Brighton (just a short walk from the train station) and online.

Each student on the two-year programme has two masterclasses included in their course fee every year and can purchase additional masterclasses at a discount. The discount codes are on your course page and you can book on this page when the topics are announced later in the autumn. The workshops are also available to writers outside the programme for a fee.

The topics will be announced later in the autumn and booking will open then. We are running one masterclass in September this year as it was postponed from earlier in the year:

Sunday 27th September, online – Imagery, Symbolism and Metaphor in prose with Dr John McCullough. How do you know when to put a waterfall in your short story or novel?

To book your place, visit our Eventbrite page and, if you’re an existing student, use the discount code on your course page to secure your free or discounted place.
