London

London has one of the largest and most varied writing-workshop scenes in the UK, supported by the city's publishing industry and its concentration of working authors who teach alongside their own writing. Workshops here cover the full range, from novel-writing courses stretched over many weeks to single-evening sessions on a specific craft topic.

Given the cost and pace of city life, many London-based workshops also offer online sections, which has widened access for writers across the wider UK.

Given how many workshops London offers, ask about group size before signing up. Smaller groups generally mean more individual feedback on your own writing.
