About
Arvon Foundation
Arvon is celebrated for its unique ability to discover and develop the writer in everyone.
We run an annual programme of residential courses at beautiful rural writing houses. The programme covers a wide range of genres – from fiction to screenwriting, and poetry to comedy.
We offer grants to cover some or the entire fee, and around a fifth of all course participants receive some support.

Why choose Arvon Foundation
“The week exceeded my expectations, which were already high due to the glowing recommendations of friends who’d attended previous courses. The tutors and guest speaker were inspiring, encouraging and approachable. I can’t tell you how much my confidence has grown in the short time I’ve been here.” —course participant
“At Arvon, everyone is a writer. Here writers teach writers...a place where no one need be embarrassed to love words or books, or by wanting very much to write better.” —Maggie Gee
“Arvon is like an art gallery or a cathedral or a national park. It’s a space which is open to everyone and where everyone is welcome whoever you are. We don’t know what experience you’ll have or what you’ll take away with you. But we know that it could change your life.”—Mark Haddon
