BRUTON WRITING WORKSHOPS

Susan also runs fortnightly workshops from her home near Bruton in Somerset. These happen on alternate Thursday and Friday mornings during term time, kicking off at 9.30am, with a break for coffee and copious amounts of cheese and biscuits (writing is a hungry-making activity!) and finishing at 1pm. Both groups are currently full, but spaces do come up from time to time so put yourself on the waiting list if you’re interested. (And if you’re trying to work out if you’re in the vicinity, the furthest students come from Bristol to the north, Bridport/Dorchester to the south,
and Salisbury to the east.)

“Suse is a wonderful teacher who somehow brings out the best in all of us. I can’t imagine doing a writing workshop with anyone else.”

“A clever and charismatic teacher.”

“I’ve just spent perhaps the best weekend of my life so far doing one of Susan’s workshops. I don’t remember when I last experienced such focus and concentration. She combines kindness and humour with a totally rigorous, focussed approach. I learnt a huge amount.”

“Tutors like Susan are gold-dust in the creative-writing industry. I wish I lived closer and could come every week.”
