As part of Dartington’s Word Up! programme of short courses you can get away to a beautiful place to finish that book and learn how to get it published. This three day course will give you tips on how to get your manuscript finished and how to approach publishers. If you are thinking about self-publishing, it will show you how to edit, design and print a book to professional standards. Led by me and my publisher from Impress Books, Richard Willis, the workshop will take place in the iconic modernist masterpiece, High Cross House, designed by American architect William Lescaze.

The course costs £325 including supper on Saturday night. You can book a place or gift the course here.
