This long-weekend course is for those who wish to develop their creative writing skills, taking time out to do so in the company of like-minded people. As well as working on your own, you will participate in a preliminary group exercise, receive two individual tutorials, and in the evening session discuss the work of writers chosen for the light they shed on the creative process. The plenary morning sessions on the Monday will provide an opportunity for everyone to read and discuss what they have written on the course. The tutor will be happy to look at examples of your work in advance should you wish to send them to him. Please send to: shortcourses@ice.cam.ac.uk. If you have any queries, please contact: Clare Kerr, Public Programmes Coordinator on 01223 746237.

Fees and bursaries

Fees

Fees for weekend courses cover tuition, meals (except breakfast) and refreshments, including morning coffee and afternoon tea during teaching hours, and travel on excursions (but not entrance fees to properties visited). Accommodation can be booked for an additional fee and includes breakfast.

VAT does not apply to course fees and there is no service charge (gratuities to domestic staff are left to your discretion). It is sometimes possible to stay for extra nights or extra meals, or to invite guests to meals, at an additional cost and by prior arrangement with the Admissions team.

If you do not wish to pay in full at the time of booking, you may pay a 15% registration fee as a deposit by credit/debit card. The balance will automatically be taken two weeks before the start of the course. If you wish to pay by cheque, you will need to pay in full when the booking is made.

You may cancel a course booking at any time. After the 14 day cancellation period has expired, the standard ICE course cancellation policy will apply. Please view our refund and cancellation policy for further details.
