My home for the week - West Dean College in Sussex, where I am Writer in Residence this week and two more into spring. Been meeting some of the clever Wring MA students - looks like a great course, should you be tempted...
Amer was a resident with us in 2021 and his talent, generosity and warmth resonated deeply with our writing community and beyond. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
We are delighted to announce Devin Valentine as our first training bursary recipient of 2024, for a bursary in musical instrument making, supported by the Golsoncott Foundation and Jennifer Chen. @westdeancollege

About a decade ago I came to my first lit festival @westdeancollege & here’s my 11th published novel. I hadn’t dared dream I’d make a profession of it.This is day 3 of pottery course with no chance of going professional but I’ve loved every minute of it! Thanks West Dean.
