Maximum of 8 participants

£100 for all 4 sessions

I thoroughly enjoyed delving into areas of literature that I know a bit about and perhaps enjoyed even more the challenge of discovering literature that I had previously been 'afraid' to approach.”

Each session will involve a taught section along with opportunities for discussion and writing. The aims are for participants to be able to refresh their literary knowledge or to discover something new, or to tackle any apprehensions around literary study and to enjoy exploring writing in new ways.
