A few short days ago, US Dark Angel Richard Pelletier and Ted Leonhardt, held an event at Folio. It's a lovely private library, perfect to discuss some great topics.

This past October saw the first ever Dark Angels workshop held in America.

Co-founder Stuart Delves gets Craig Watson to deliver the big reveal. How a piece of well-crafted business writing led him to Dark Angels and a set of experiences ('the people, the places, the playing with words') that have become one of his life's highlights.

Rowena Roberts and cofounder John Simmons talk language and connection, books, storytelling, and what it means to call yourself a writer.

Dark Angels founder John Simmons has just published his second novel, Spanish Crossings, set during the Spanish Civil War. This began as a story written in Spain on a Dark Angels course in 2014.

My Dark Angels partner, Jamie Jauncey, was struggling to translate the title of my novel SpanishCrossings into Spanish. ‘Crossings’ has more than one possibility.

Stuart Delves and Samm Short remember how last year's advanced course was a little bit different - blending writing and yoga in the house overlooking the sierra.

Gillian Colhoun and Stuart Delves ran a two-day, bespoke course for Irdeto’s marketing team in Amsterdam this January.

I cannot imagine that anyone reading this blog is a supporter of Donald Trump.

“Straight Outta Uni” is a funny time. The first question that occurred to me was whether I would have to reference anymore.

John: Place is always important to any writer. I mean a number of things by that.

It was wonderful to spend those few days with you at Loughcrew. Tell me, did you have any expectations of what you wanted to get out of the course?
