This may be either a tutored or untutored retreat, depending on what you think will be of most benefit to you. Children’s, YA writers and writers for adults may apply for this award. We are grateful to Arvon for their continued support of this award.

In conjunction with The Literary Consultancy we are offering up to three poets, prose writers and children’s writers the chance to receive an in-depth editorial report on their work in progress. You must be working towards a full-length work (e.g. a novel, work of creative non-fiction, poetry collection or short-story collection). Although your manuscript does not have to be complete, you must be in a position to submit the manuscript (either complete or partially complete) for assessment before the end of February 2025.
