Are you a writer with a passion for art and history? Or an art lover who wants to write fiction? Or are you just looking for a little inspiration?

This intensive, two-week summer school - run in partnership with Faber Academy - aims to boost your creative output, while exploring London's rich literary and artistic heritage. Join international bestselling novelist Sarah Dunant and study the basics of historical fiction writing - topics such as voice, structure, character and research - while drawing on the visual language and research methods of art history, with Sotheby's Institute experts.

Over two weeks in and around literary Bloomsbury, enjoy visits to galleries and museums, workshops with guest authors, lectures in art history at Sotheby's Institute, and practical sessions on how to use your research. You will also have two study days where you can work on your own piece of writing in the Georgian offices of Faber and Faber, the iconic British publishing house - home to TS Eliot, Sylvia Plath and William Golding. By the end of two weeks, you can expect to come away with a finished piece of historical fiction - a short story, perhaps, or the first chapter and outline of a longer work - as well as an enhanced appreciation of art, its history, and how it can be used to create worlds and tell stories.
