Patricia and Peter will work with us two Squad days each, the other six days we will have other guest tutors. We choose these when we have a better idea of the needs of Squad members. In the past we have worked with Dorothea Smartt, Jean Sprackland and John Siddique on poetry, Gareth Greer and Julia Darling on prose, and Susan Everett, Sarah Turner and Ray Jenkins on script.
Steve Dearden is the Project Director, making sure the Squad runs smoothly, he also does a session on close editing and is supporting some of the prose writers and playwrights currently in the Squad grad programme. You can visit his site at http://www.stevedearden.com
