Unthank School of Writing

The Unthank School aims to help new writers achieve what they want to achieve, whether that’s to start writing by means of experiment and play, or to finish a long-worked novel or project. Our approach is student-centred and eclectic. We work out what you want for your writing and work with you to attain it, whatever your idea or genre. The most important thing to us is the writing itself and the process by which you shape it. We will not burden you with the unnecessary self-appraisals common in university creative writing courses. Neither do we grade work-in-progress as we feel this is adds extra pressure onto new writers. All we want is to help you find your voice and finish your projects.
