Depending on the facilitator, these sessions may also touch on different theoretical approaches to your writing. For each session, you will receive resources including a pre-reading list a week in advance. Fees for each session are suggested donation of £10 or more (£5 concession), except for the memoir course (suggested £20 or more per day). The Developing Your Craft programme is for writers of colour based in the UK (Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, and Wales) All sessions, except the keynote, will be held over Zoom with a maximum of 30 participants.
