How to book on one of my London food-writing courses:

It’s so easy. Step 1: choose your date.  Step 2: I’ll confirm availability and email you payment details. Step 3: please pay the course fee in full to secure your place and receive a choice of short writing exercises (you only have to do one) to complete by the course start date. Not compulsory but it gives me a clear idea of where your talents and interests lie. The course fee is not refundable but you can change your chosen date if something comes up. Step 4: Submit your exercise to me and I’ll email you full joining instructions.
