Arvon Tutored Retreat: How to make purposeful progress on your fiction
Mon 1 Oct 2018 to Sat 6 Oct 2018
Wherever you are in your writing life – just starting or five novels in – there are always challenges, and it’s hard to push through them without a fresh pair of eyes seeing your work. We’ll help to guide your prose, to look at language, narrative, character and structure, and help you to see into your writing blind spots. Tutors: Edward Docx and Samantha Harvey
