NEW Friends and Supporters Fund

Reduced fees

Reduced fees
are available to a limited number of students who are experiencing financial hardship, including beginner writers.  These are offered through our Friends and Supporters Fund.   For more information, have a word in confidence with Val Moore

Congratulations


Congratulations to members of our Saturday morning Writers' Manuscript Clinic.  This keen group have worked hard over the last couple of years, ably supported by tutors Rod Duncan, Bead Roberts and Steve Loveless, and are now reporting some real writing successes.  There is a little space still available in this workshop for students with some existing experience who are interested in taking their writing to the next stage.

Leicester Jewish Memories Project


Our extensive range of courses and writers' workshops include fiction and non-fiction, poetry and children's writing, plus playwriting for stage, radio and screen.  Students on our courses learn editing and publishing skills, including style and presentation.  We take developing writers through from newspaper and magazine publishing to short story and novel writing, from biography and memoir to writing a film script.  In a friendly supportive environment, we nurture students' creative and craft skills and guide their professional development.
