Each Masterclass consist of a one and a half hour intensive workshop (delivered via Zoom – participants can watch live or watch the recording).

Writers are then sent a tailor-made writing challenge that addresses the theme of the workshop to work on in their own time.

If you decide to go for a Delux Masterclass, members of your writers’ group will be able to attend a follow-up focus group session (hosted via Re:treat Retreat’s Zoom account) where writers share their responses to the challenge in smaller groups. (Questions are distributed prior to the focus group to provide a framework for further discussion).

Ultra Masterclasses include a further, live, one hour Q&A session where Ali Harper and a guest author answer questions relating to the theme of the masterclass.
