Writing Courses - Pain or Gain

Below are details of a talk I am going to be part of on 21st May in London. Come along!

Wed 21 May
Writing courses: pain or gain? 6.45pm, £6/£3
The last decade or so has seen an explosion of courses in creative writing. Many aspiring writers now believe it is the surest route to publication. But how many people does this really work for? Can creativity ever be 'taught' Julia Bell and Marion Urch, both novelists as well as respectively a teacher and a mentor of writing, join Drew Gummerson whose second novel is out with Cape and has never done an MA, in a debate chaired by Aoi Matsushima.
