Attention turns to next creative writing courses

[John Dean]

Thoroughly enjoyed a great weekend course with authors from the Darlington-based Inkerman Writers, very creative! Now attention turns to July 6.

Indeed, there are still plenty of places left on both weekend summer courses for writers run by best-selling crime novelist John Dean at his home near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway.

John, author of 18 novels and currently published by London-based The Book Folks, is the creator of the popular DCI John Blizzard and DCI Jack Harris series.

He will run courses based around sense of place from his 19^th Century home set in rolling countryside on the weekends of July 6/7 and August 24/25, 2019.

The workshops will be suitable for writers of all prose genres and will be ideal for either individuals, including those planning to holiday in the area, or writing groups.

The cost is £95 per person, including catering, and you can find out more by emailing Inscribe Media Limited, of which John is a director, on [e-mail] The course is non-residential but advice can be offered on local B and Bs.
