Tutors Horatio Clare and Jon Gower with Guest Reader Lucy Hughes-Hallett

From recording experience through to identifying the correct form of research and marshalling the material through to burnishing the final prose. Two authors who have published work in most forms of non-fiction—and consistently blurred the distinctions between them—will share their boundless enthusiasm for words and their abilities.There will be ample opportunity for one-on-one sessions as well as group activities, including a field trip to take full advantage of the fabulous countryside.

Horatio Clare’s first book, Running for the Hills, an acclaimed account of a Welsh childhood, won a Somerset Maugham Award, was longlisted for The Guardian First Book Award and saw Horatio shortlisted for the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year.

Jon Gower has over twenty books to his name, including An Island Called Smith, which won the John Morgan travel writing award; The Story of Wales - which accompanied the landmark BBC series - and Gwalia Patagonia, an account of the Welsh overseas adventure in south America.

Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s 2013 publication The Pike - Gabriele d’Annunzio won the Samuel Johnson Award, the Duff Cooper Prize and the Costa Biography Award.
