Litro Masterclasses / Autumn 2026

Back to the Work

A focused autumn programme for writers ready to move a draft, idea or practice forward.

Six live masterclasses · September–October 2026 · Online

The programme

Autumn is often when writers return to work that has stalled, been put aside, or needs a different kind of attention. This programme starts there.

Six writers and editors lead small live sessions around six specific problems: revising a draft, writing across cultures, taking poetry into performance, navigating rejection, generating work through art, and bringing a children’s book towards publication.

Start with where the work is now.

The room

A working room, not a webinar.

Litro Masterclasses are kept small because the point is participation. Writers can ask questions, discuss the work and learn alongside people dealing with many of the same problems.

The classes sit inside Litro’s wider editorial life — publishing, submissions, craft essays, conversations and future programmes. Some writers come for one class. Others stay connected to the community.

Autumn 2026
