In an era of social media, podcasts and Substack, there are so many ways for writers to tell their stories. Join bestselling non-fiction author and podcast host Alice Vincent for this masterclass, in which she will share insight into how to take your story to a broader audience beyond the written page. A digital native, Alice firmly believes that telling stories across digital platforms isn’t only a means of expanding reach as an author but a vital way of inspiring new forms of creativity and storytelling. You’ll receive guidance in how to write for social media and Substack, you’ll be encouraged to approach your work more broadly and to examine your writing in a more dynamic way, and you’ll be inspired to see your work existing beyond the page. Alice will help you explore your story as something that could exist for different audiences, to isolate and amplify the most potent parts of your narrative and to feel confident in taking on new platforms.

The Masterclass will be delivered via Zoom webinar, so you can take the session at your own pace, without the pressure of having your video or camera on. Sessions are also recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you will have access to the recording for a month afterwards.

Online Writing Weeks and Evening Courses

Courses are delivered by Zoom meeting, which means they are not recorded.
Courses have much smaller groups than Masterclasses and How I Write events, and are also more interactive with your fellow course participants and tutors, so cameras and audio are usually on (though both are completely optional). If you would prefer your camera and audio to be off at all times, it would be helpful to let your course host know this in advance.
We use Padlet as a landing page for all course materials, and to provide an optional platform for interaction with your tutors and fellow course participants. If you would like some more information about this, or if you have any anxiety about using this platform, please email arvonathome@arvon.org.

"These zoom opportunities are really helping to open my world and keep me inspired to write."

— Masterclass participant

"Arvon at Home creates a model to participate in inspirational tutoring for writers, at a distance. The feeling of attending to my writing life in an excellent fashion, and still having a half-day for my work and caring responsibilities at home, felt like a good balance."

— Masterclass participant

"It was an absolutely brilliant session and very very useful. And it made me realise how much I’ve missed this kind of workshop because of having children and family that I can’t leave. Now we’re all in the same boat the online stuff is truly transformative."
