Two writers/established writing teachers have set up what looks like a delightful series of Arvon-style courses that are weekends instead of whole weeks, with prices to match. One of the organisers is Jeremy Sheldon, who I think Lammi has taught alongside at Arvon, and now teaches at Birkbeck and elsewhere.

Gorgeous part of the world, too. They also say they do retreats, if anyone needs to hole up and get something started/finished/revised...

I bet that's good. Jeremy's a great tutor, very energetic and sparky.

I've met Julia Bell, too, and would put money on her being a great tutor - she's running the Birkbeck MA.
