If you're not sure if our Writing Masterclasses in Marrakech or our London Workshops are for you, we have a free online sampler session this Sunday for you to find out! The free online sampler workshop runs from two to half past three (UK time) on Sunday November 8. To join, drop us a line at [email protected]. Beginners welcome!

Taking a leap and actually trying to do the thing you've always meant to/wanted to do feels like rather good note upon which to end the year, no?

A personal tribute to because Wimbledon was my first home, that library was my first library and the cinema on Wimbledon Hill Road was where I walked out of my first movie (proud to say i thought Return of the Jedi was infantile, aged six), and also I love the festival and I'm completely obsessed by the spectacular artwork made by fellow Pakistani .

Tomorrow we're at our last literature festival this year, the mighty . We've had a great year at the Charleston Festival, at Hay-on-Wye, at the Chelsea Arts Festival, at the Women's Prize Live, at our on-demand workshop for visiting fellows from the Emirates Litfest, not to mention our own sold out Masterclasses in Marrakech, and our first Writing Retreat in Bath.

This year's Writing Masterclasses in Marrakech have sold out, but you can now book for end Feb and the first week of March 2027 with guest authors Blake Morrison and Tessa Hadley and November 2027 with guest authors Tash Aw and Sarah Waters. Masterclasses in Marrakech are an intensive, transformative, hands-on five-day writing/redrafting bootcamp led by Alexandra Pringle, former Editor-in-Chief of Bloomsbury Publishing, Faiza S Khan, editor and consultant, and bestselling author and broadcaster Alex von Tunzelmann. Prices start at £3,000. Get in touch at [email protected] and take a look at our website for more details.

Anyone who's experienced the sheer ecstasy of reading Barbara Trapido will be able to answer this question posed in her profile in the current issue of the New Yorker. Her devotees include Katherine Rundell, Meg Mason, Maggie O'Farrell, Ann Patchett and Elizabeth Gilbert, to name a few, and also you, I challenge you to read her without immediately wanting to fall at her feet.

We could be more excited to have her as our guest author next month at our Masterclasses in Marrakech from 22nd - 27th November. Due to a cancellation, one place has just become available, get in touch at [email protected] if you're interested in booking it or to have a chat about it. In the meantime, all hail Queen Babs 🙌🙌

Last week we had our first Writing Retreat at glorious Batheaston House. We weren't sure what to expect in a new location with our trademark workshops and one-to-one feedback but with afternoons left free to write - beyond grateful that it was a roaring success. Thank you to everyone who came, god what a lovely bunch, it was truly a privilege to have you. See you in Marrakech for our Masterclasses soon!

Happy birthday to my favourite, Graham Greene. A friend and I read Brighton Rock together a few years ago, he in India and me in London, WhatsApping back and forth, him waiting patiently for me to reach the devastating ending. We're embarking on this one - set in a l***r colony in the Congo (I do prefer Greene abroad generally) - as soon as I return from our Writing Retreat in Bath next week!! I thought about reading it there but Greene casts too much of a spell! Which are your favourite Greenes? Mine are The Comedians and Our Man in Havana.
