Sam Taylor – critically-acclaimed author of The Republic of Trees, The Amnesiac and The Island at the End of the World – has started offering summer writing holidays at his home in southwest France.

At The French Workshop, accommodation is available in three beautiful B&Bs in the same village, and the courses can be 3-day, 5-day or 7-day stays with variations including Writing and Wine-Tasting, Writing and Cycling, Writing and Jazz, Writing and Golf, Writing and Toulouse, and – for those of you who are really keen – Writing Only.
Sam has written three novels for Faber, translated into eight languages, and his first novel, The Republic of Trees, has just been made into a film (All Good Children) premiered at this year’s Cannes Festival. He proposes to guide aspiring authors through every aspect of the novel-writing process – from the first glimmer of an idea to how to deal with agents, publishers and film companies.
