TLC Director Rebecca Swift and TLC Masterclass and Literary Adventures tutor Jacob Ross will be teaming up to teach a creative writing workshop on the short story as part of Small Wonder at Charleston Festival, at the beautiful Pelham House in Lewes.
The day will consist of an opportunity to look at the work of leading exponents of the short story, as well as giving participants the chance to practise their own writing skills. The session will also provide information on traditional and digital literary markets. Participants will be provided with a link to stories and extracts in advance, in order to prepare. TLC will offer a 50% discount for story assessments submitted within a month of the class.
Rebecca Swift, TLC Director, is an editor, writer and teacher. She previously worked at Virago and has published poetry, a libretto, and biography.
Jacob Ross is a novelist, short story writer and a judge for the V.S. Pritchett Memorial Prize.

TLC Events Feedback
- “The TLC Writers Day was really valuable to me. I met lots of fellow writers in a friendly and conducive atmosphere and each session was highly informative. I learned about a multiplicity of ways to promote myself and my novel, about the author-publisher relationship and what agents and publishers look for in a novel as well as new ways to energise my writing.”

- “The workshop was thought-provoking and gave me plenty of sources for continuing my learning. It also provided me with ideas and material which I can immediately use to enhance the novel I am writing. Andrew managed to include us all and gave me confidence and enthusiasm to continue.”
Online Writing Workshop ‘Perfect Plotting’ with Andrew Wille
- “An inspirational two hours : a character that prior to the workshop had only been a name became a human with depth and a past I never even knew were there.”
Online Writing Workshop ‘Crafting Characters’ with Kit de Waal
- “TLC’s Edit That Book workshop gave a real insight into the process of getting a book published. The value of having an industry expert sharing their knowledge cannot be underestimated. I went away with a variety of tips that I might not have found elsewhere that will ultimately make my writing better, more engaging, and hopefully more likely to be picked up by an agent or publisher in the future.”
Online Writing Workshop ‘Edit that Book’ with Phoebe Morgan
- “Shelley Weiner is a pro – not only in her knowledge of and ability to share insights into the the writing process, but also of creating inclusive and safe environment. We had a very wide range of participant experience – from beginners to published authors, but the faced-paced workshop was designed in a way that it was useful to everyone. Many thanks to Shelley and to TLC for organising this.”
