ABOUT LONDON WRITING WORKSHOPS

London Writing Workshops was established by Vicky Grut in 2008 to offer intensive, enjoyable and inspiring short courses to writers at all levels of experience. Since 2008, there have been 35 courses attended by more than 200 people. Guest speakers and co-teachers have included the publisher Francesca Main, now editorial director of Picador, the novelist Bernardine Evaristo, whose seventh novel Mr Loverman  is published by Penguin/Hamish Hamilton in 2013, novelist Kathy Page, whose most recent work is an edited collection of essays In the Flesh, and comedian and writer Alexei Sayle, author of five works of fiction and one memoir, Stalin Ate My Homework.
