Arvon asked me to create a 5-Day Writing Challenge for them and you can now sign up to receive it for free via email starting on Monday 20th July. Since it’s the National Year of Reading in the UK, I’m getting writers to use any book they might have in their house as inspiration, but to find out how, you’ll have to sign up.
By the end of the five days you should have a piece of fiction, maybe finished, or maybe the start of something longer.
Sign up here.
And in November I’ll be teaching on a Arvon course at The Hurst in Shropshire, about writing a novel and reaching the end. More information on that, here.

Hi Claire, what a fantastic opportunity! I attended a recent talk by you and your insights into writing were invaluable, so I’m keen to join these sessions.
Unfortunately, I can’t get the link to work, where it says ‘sign up here’ in orange.
Hopefully, you can help me?
Many thanks, Hemmie
I have the same problem with the link!
