Write Away

Our programme of creative writing workshops is a core element of the Literature Festival and recognised nationwide for the quality of its tutors. Write Away offers a wide range of courses in terms of both content and length and workshops are aimed at all levels of ability.

No matter if you have just started developing your writing or if you’re well into your first adventure on the page, Write Away will offer you many opportunities to work together with renowned authors and highly experienced tutors on growing your talent. In the spirit of giving our audience as many opportunities as possible to get stuck in, each year we offer a changing programme of complimentary workshops, such as Theatre or Bookcraft.
