Since we started in September 2008, tutors such as Pascale Petit, Rachel Demuth and Sean O’Brien have returned for their third, fourth and even fifth seasons and they are back at Château Ventenac in Spring 2013.

Pascale Petit Poetry Workshop

Building on the success of their courses, each year we are carefully extending our programme by adding new tutors and courses.  In 2013, we have new Creative Writing and Poetry tutors and more of our popular Creative Retreats.  Details may be found via the menu above and the links provided below and in the Spring and Autumn menus to the left.

As well as our Poetry and Creative Writing courses, in 2013 we have three courses that will be of interest to writers of both poetry and prose:

Mindful Writing with Fiona Robyn & Kaspalita Thompson

Starting to Write with Tiffany Murray

Your Writing Journey with Crysse Morrison

For book group enthusiasts, a new development is our Talking About Books reading holiday with Guy Pringle of newbooks magazine.

Places are limited to between 8 and 10 students, depending on the course, to ensure the tutor is able to provide sufficient individual attention.
