Who is this course for? Is there anything I need to know before joining?

These classes are suitable for everyone at all stages of their writing journey, whether you are wanting to write for the first time, are working on a long-term project, or want to start something new or are looking to develop your writing skills and editorial practice.

Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil to each class. Surrey Adult Learning asks all learners to use and maintain a notebook to document their learning and to bring it to each session.
