Tutors

 

Guiding discussions, providing feedback, sharing their hard-won insights into the world of writing and publishing, Faber Academy tutors are the best in the business. They include award-winning novelists, memoirists and poets, plus industry leaders from Faber's editorial department and top literary agencies.

But they are not just great writers or publishers - most importantly, they are also great teachers, with the experience to know what your writing needs, and when. Our tutors design and deliver structured courses that combine practical advice and exercises to hone your writing skills, with all the inspiration and insight you'd expect from one of the great publishing houses.
