November is Academic Writing Month!

To celebrate #ACWRIMO  we are introducing our first Special Host Facilitator.

Helen Mort, who has previously run writing retreats for creative writers at Arvon, will be co-hosting and hosting a number of our Writing Retreats at Chapelgarth in November. The retreats will be run according to our usual format and structure, with the added bonus of a chance to relax and join in one of her 'Pyjama Poetry' evenings.

Helen will be joining a team of selected academic facilitators, who will be hosting occasional writing retreats at Chapelgarth during the academic year 2023/24.
