Why attend Swanwick Writers' Summer School?

Swanwick is famous for its high-quality programme of talks, courses, workshops and extra-curricular activities. 

Don't take our word for it. Read the feedback from the most recent Writers' Summer School, our seventieth.
​I enjoyed the freedom to choose courses, time to write, the laughter and wonderful atmosphere.

Spending a week amongst so many creative people is a real privilege.

A lovely environment to spend a life-enhancing week.

It is truly the best week of my year.

The wide variety of courses offered meant there was always an option to interest me

I enjoyed the whole experience and friendly atmosphere.

I loved every single moment of our Platinum week.

This was the best year yet.


I enjoyed the whole week, meeting new people, involvement and being welcomed as part of the extended family, which Swanwick is.

I enjoyed the courses, the surroundings and the company.

I always love Swanwick, but this year I felt the Community spirit and sense of belonging was more real than ever.

The mix of courses and events was fantastic.
​

The beauty is in having such a broad menu to choose from.

It was great to be able to select courses during the week rather than
​having to pre-book.

The variety of courses offered was very good. Often wished I could be in two places at once. ​
