For writers of every level, Silk Road Slippers Writing Masterclasses are designed to transform your writing practice, both by unlocking your creative potential, and by developing the technical skills to find your unique voice.

The classes are taught by Alexandra Pringle, publisher, editor, literary agent and writer, former editor-in-chief of Bloomsbury Publishing; Nesrine Malik, author and journalist at the Guardian; Alex von Tunzelmann, internationally bestselling historian, broadcaster and screenwriter; and Faiza Khan, editor, mentor and literary consultant.

Our five-day Masterclasses offer participants unparalleled access to some of the most celebrated figures in the world of literature, including winners of the Booker Prize, National Book Award, Women’s Prize, Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for Literature. We have unique access to agents and publishers internationally, and have made introductions for several participants who are at a publishable stage.

Set in Morocco’s idyllic Jnane Tamsna, our five-night Masterclasses in Marrakech are a literary experience like no other.
