Granta Writers’ Workshops

Since its inception as a literary quarterly in 1979, Granta has been committed to championing the best in new writing. As part of their ongoing mission to support new and emerging writers, they have developed a programme of workshops with their education partners Professional Writing Academy. These courses are designed to offer writers the tools to develop their technical skills, and the ability to understand the nuances of excellent literary craftsmanship.

These online, tutored courses are hosted on a fully accessible virtual platform, available anywhere in the world, offering flexible learning at a time and pace to suit individual needs. Each course draws on the archive of world-class literature published by Granta over the past forty years. Students will develop their authorial voice while honing their prose through practical assignments, one-to-one tutor feedback and peer learning with a cohort of committed students. Bursary-funded places (fully-funded scholarships) will be available on each course for those in financial need. There is one bursary-funded place on each course for a writer who would not otherwise be able to join.

The available courses include: Writing Nature, Writing Memoir, Writing Literary Short Fiction, Writing Long-form Journalism, and Writing a Literary Novel.
