Cheshire Novel Prize Summer School 2025
We are excited to announce that registration for our six week live taught summer school writing course is now open. This is our fourth year of summer school, and we can’t wait to meet you.
This course is incredibly popular and so do book early. Due to the live taught aspect, we have limited places available and like to keep the groups manageable.

· All materials, handouts and recordings.
· One private agent Q&A event.
· One private author event Q&A
· A private chat forum and genre groups to ‘build your tribe’ and complete homework.
Price per person is £249
