Course 6

TRAVEL WRITING
June 7-12 • Hugh Thomson and Christopher Somerville
Guest: Bidisha

Residential: £525 (single); £450 (shared) 

Any journey undertaken - even a brief rail journey to a favourite place - can be a window into the world.  Discover how not just to explore new places, but to revisit familiar places with new questions. This course will show you how to gather and exploit the source material to describe the landscape, characters and memories of a place through natural, observant writing that sparkles with authenticity.
