With over twenty years of teaching experience, British Faber author and BBC National Short Story Award winner Clare Wigfall has developed a method that guarantees to inspire your imagination and consistently brings extraordinary results. Whether you are an experienced writer or a total beginner, her intention is to break down the barriers that inhibit, so that the creative process can come naturally. Under her gentle guidance, this perfectly-structured course of generative writing workshops will allow you to develop a body of new work and experiment with different techniques. By design, Part One of this course does not include a formal workshopping element, but does allow for opportunities to share your work. You’ll also be introduced to inspirational and thought-provoking fiction by established authors and will have a chance to hone your critical skills through group discussion of these texts. Clare’s workshops have a proven track record of inspiring award-winning, publishable writing, and her students have been accepted to prestigious Masters programmes and found professional writing careers. This course will work you hard and provide challenges and surprises, but it also promises lots of fun and laughter, as well as much stimulation and encouragement from the others in the group. Shortlisted for the 2023 European Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Humanities and Social Sciences and professor of Creative Writing at Bard College Berlin, Clare’s teaching has a playful inventiveness and energy that never fails to inspire, and her classes foster a warm multicultural writing community, both in-person and online, creating connections that last long beyond the close of the course.

“Clare brought an immense knowledge of literature, a familiarity with the creative process and ways to kickstart it, and, much rarer, the ability to put people at ease, and allow them to open up without self-consciousness. There was an openness and collective energy from the group (although we were never in the same room), which is a testimony to the skill of the teacher. The class gave me a new slant on the writing process, and it taught me a lot about myself as a writer.” Laurie Snowden, Berkeley, California
