One writer, one story. An in-depth series of exclusive masterclasses on the short story form running until July 2025. The second story in our series is Tom Vowler's V.S Pritchett Prize-winning story, Voyagers.
Join us as Tom guides us through the motivation for his story, the finer details of writing and re-writing, the influences that shaped it - with additional thoughts on the lessons from that process that might work for you. Over an hour and a half there will be time for questions and a few exercises.
Tom Vowler is an award-winning author living in the UK. A university lecturer with a PhD in creative writing, his work has featured on BBC radio and been translated into multiple languages.
