Friday 30 April 10:00 - Monday 3 May 6:00 pm

Spring time, early May 2021, a good time to make fresh work and or examine current and ongoing fiction work. 

Join Costa Book of the Year, 2020 winner, Monique Roffey in a ‘hot house’ workshop over four days at the Exeter Custom House.  Mornings we will be sitting together in a round table open surgery, giving and receiving constructive feedback on work-in-progress. Afternoons will be given over to walks and talks on the subject of exploration. Evenings we will be reading to each other. This intensive course is open to experienced and emerging writers preparing a manuscript for publication or wanting feedback on ongoing creative work. It will be an 11 person bubble of creativity and excellence over a short time, the first May bank holiday of 2021.
