Join Emma and her experienced fellow writer-tutors at New College, Oxford, for an intensive one-week creative writing summer school.

We all have stories to tell, and the right guidance can make those stories compelling. Perhaps words are pouring out of you but you need to structure them. Perhaps you’re bursting with ideas but aren’t sure where to start. Perhaps your life-story, short story, novel, or poem is well underway but you're not yet confident about editing and polishing. Our experienced, encouraging tutors will help you to find your voice and shape your story.

During this intensive one-week summer school, we invite you to:

• Work with Oxford tutors in small-group workshops and seminars.

• Receive tutor feedback on your writing during an individual 45-minute tutorial.

• Experience the beautiful historic environment of thirteenth-century New College, Oxford.

• Enjoy comfortable, accessible accommodation and teaching rooms with all meals included.

• Attend daily talks by industry professionals and authors.

You have four course options to choose from: 

• Fiction

• Young adult and children’s fiction

• Poetry

• Life-writing - taught by Emma Darwin

You will have 7 seminars in total over the week, broken up into 4 of your first choice of course option and 3 of your second choice.
