Monday 20 July 11:00 am - Sunday 26 July 5:00 pm

We are offering four promising new writers of fiction one-to-one writers’ surgeries with novelist Katri Skala during the week of 20th – 26th July 2020.

Katri will offer one-to-one feedback which will help you hone your craft, discuss your work-in-progress and consider possible next steps for your writing journey.

To apply for one of these sessions, please submit up to 2,000 words of your current work-in-progress alongside a 200 word statement (preferably in Word document or PDF format) outlining what you are working on and what you hope to gain from a one-to-one surgery session to customhouse@literatureworks.org.uk by no later than 5pm on Friday 26th June 2020.

Four selected writers of fiction will be invited to submit a final writing sample of up to 4,000 words for Katri to review ahead of the one-to-one. You will then have the opportunity to book a slot during the week of 20th – 26th July 2020 at a time convenient to both parties.
