Faber Academy: Writing Darkness with Matt Wesolowski
Mon 29 Jun 2026 to Wed 16 Sep 2026
Electrify your writing by mastering techniques from the darker side of fiction, delving deep into atmosphere, fear and dread in a twelve-week course.

During the course, we will examine why our relationship with the darker side of fiction has endured the millennia, and why there will always be a market for scary stories. We will create haunted places and people, stoke fear and fight demons in the pursuit of unsettling and evocative fiction.

Over the course of twelve weeks, we will consider how to write relatable fear, how to create a brooding atmosphere and how to make setting an intrinsic character in your fiction. Each session will include short tutorials on technique with practical exercises, peer and individual feedback as well as reading recommendations to help you enrich your own dark fiction.
