Myra Schneider's flagship monthly poetry group with detailed feedback and discussion in each session.
Seminars meet monthly for in-depth discussions on poems-in-progress, with a tutor on hand to offer additional advice, guidance and feedback. Groups contain between six and eight students. A successful seminar group enables supportive critical friendships to develop, so you are encouraged to commit to all eight sessions.
As far as we can, we arrange seminars according to levels of interest and experience, and entry into these groups is by application only. So, tell us what sort of writer you are and which tutor you’d like to work with, and we’ll try and find the right match for you.
Most seminar groups start in October and run through to May/June, but exact dates, times and venues will be listed on each individual course page.
