Our friends at the Royal Society of Literature (in collaboration with the Booker Prize Foundation) are holding a series of masterclasses during 2011.

Forthcoming masterclasses will be given by two Fellows of the RSL: William Boyd, who has been previously shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and Candia McWilliam, a former judge of the prize.

The masterclasses are open to members of the RSL, and to members of the public, to established writers and to beginners. Each class will be for a maximum of 14 people. Classes last three hours and cost £30.
