Moniack Mhor
What we offer
At the Moniack Mhor Writers’ Centre all genres of creative writing are taught, Novel writing, Writing for Children, Travel writing, Writing for TV, Playwriting, Crime writing, Poetry, Fiction and Writing from Life. More than 2500 students have taken part in these courses, with an age range of 16 to 91. As well as local people, students have come from a wide area across the UK as well as from as far as Europe, North America and the Far East. Without fail they praise the inspirational qualities of the location in the Scottish Highlands.
Outwith the core provision of Arvon courses, Moniack Mhor also runs closed courses. These cater, in a similar format, for school pupils, writers groups and private commissions. In all cases the central aim is to provide everyone with the unique opportunity to live as a writer in tranquil surroundings, to have the opportunity to share ideas with fellow writers and benefit from the expert advice, encouragement and feed-back from published writers.
