Arvon at Home

Join an Arvon tutor for a two hour masterclass, delivered directly from their own writing desk (or maybe the kitchen table). Similar to workshops on a traditional Arvon course, the tutor will share their invaluable writing advice and explore forms and techniques. You’ll also have time to write over the two hours, with helpful prompts set by the tutor. If you want a boost of motivation and inspiration to write, but can’t commit to a full Writing Week, this is the option for you.

Our acclaimed week-long writing courses are now available online. Capturing the transformative power of an Arvon week, we’re helping you to create the Arvon experience in your home, across five days. Join us for a structured week of workshops, one-to-ones, social gatherings and readings delivered by two Arvon tutors via Zoom.

Do you want to commit time to your writing but can only manage a couple of hours a week? Would you like a writing boost and a network of writing buddies? Evening Courses unpack our popular writing week over 5 weeks of evening classes. Each week, your tutors will deliver a workshop designed to propel your writing forward, with one-to-one tutorials offered mid course. There will be tutor readings, weekly socials and sessions with guest writers.

You’ll develop a regular writing routine and because this course extends over a longer period than any previous Arvon course, you’ll have the opportunity to generate a really substantial quantity of work, to see and deeply feel the changes in it.

If you’re looking for more interaction than our two-hour masterclasses, but can’t commit to our longer format courses, join us for one day to make significant strides forward with your writing.  Expect interactive workshops with your tutor, including breakout group discussions with fellow writers and writing exercises to propel your writing forward. Delivered via a Zoom meeting, writing days are recorded so if you are only able to attend part of the day, you can catch up afterwards.  

Join us from the comfort of your sofa and listen to writers share their work, the stories behind their work, and invaluable writing advice directly from their own desk (or maybe the kitchen table). And the best part? At the end you get to ask them questions about their words, pick their brains on craft, and learn more about the business of writing. How I Write sessions are pay-what-you-can, and are the perfect introduction to Arvon.
