Back to the Work
A focused autumn programme for writers ready to move a draft, idea or practice forward.
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 Autumn Programme
Six small live sessions built around practical writing and publishing problems.
Thursday
Rescue the Draft
Jo Gatford
The draft has potential. Something still isn’t working. Diagnose the problem and build a practical revision route.
Saturday
Writing Across Cultures
Megan Turner
Make culturally specific work legible to readers without explaining away what makes it yours.
Thursday
From Page to Stage
Jess Green
Turn individual poems into a live set with stronger pace, shape, transitions and presence.
Saturday
Rejection, Resilience & the Writer’s Submission Toolkit
Jenny Knight
Build a clearer approach to agents, submissions, rejection and the practical work of staying in motion.
Thursdays
The Joy of Ekphrasis
Lorette C. Luzajic
Use paintings, photography and visual culture to generate fresh poems, stories and hybrid work.
Saturday
Writing and Pitching a Children’s Book
A. M. Dassu
Shape, position and prepare a children’s book project for agents, publishers and submission.
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.
