Looking for expert guidance to hone your writing skills during lockdown? You’ve come to the right place. We’re launching a range of brand-new courses, as well as celebrating our long-running favourites. Whether you’ve been writing for years or are just starting out, our comprehensive courses are designed to help you take your fiction to the next level.
Explore the Retreat West course collection here, or take a look at what’s on offer below:
- Find out how flash-fiction techniques can help you draft your novel with this free, one-week course: Develop Your Novel in a Flash.

- Transform memories into beautiful memoir with the Flash Memoir course. It’s running as a group course, or you can choose the start-anytime solo option instead if you choose.
