The tutors are Professor Jem Poster, author and Chair of Creative Writing at Aberystwyth Unviersity; and Sarah Hall whose second novel, The Electric Michelangelo, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

Masterclass speakers include: Jill Dawson; Helen Dunmore; Joanne Harris; Julie Myerson; Ben Okri; Grevel Lindop; and Barry Turner.
