Nothing beats the back to school vibe of autumn 🍂 In line with this, we are running a workshop series over the next three months that focuses on the more technical aspects of writing — grammar with Cailean Steed, self-editing with Heather Parry and pitching with Caro Clarke!

We can’t wait for Cailean Steed’s Polish Your Prose workshop next week! So many of the technical aspects of writing are overlooked or misunderstood. We think that now (especially with the rise of AI!) knowing the rules of grammar and syntax is essential for anyone trying to write a good sentence.

This autumn our workshops will be focusing on what is perhaps one of the most important, yet often overlooked, elements of writing — craft! So much about the writing life is mythologised, opaque and gate-kept, it can be easy to forget the value of writing sentences that work.
