Crossword Masterclass in Sussex for Aspiring Setters and Advanced Solvers
My next in-person masterclass will take place in April. The contents of the class will be the same as usual, split into two four-hour sessions on a Friday and Saturday afternoon, giving plenty of time for reflection between sessions and questions afterwards.
We’ll look at clue-writing, grid filling and theme development, with the emphasis on the things that make the difference between good and mediocre puzzles. You’ll receive a copy of the other participants’ work before the class, so that you’ll have a chance to think like an editor and to see your own work through other people’s eyes, and you’ll receive notes and personal guidance with suggestions for further work, and over 250 pages of course materials.
I hope you’ll join us and learn a lot about compiling from me and from each other.
Dates Friday 14 and Saturday 15 April 2023 **SOLD OUT** (see comment #4)

Geoff DU @1 – That would be a great tour – if I ever get round to spending some time in your part of the world, I should do it! In the meantime, there will be more online classes, if you like to keep your mind busy after midnight …
Update – the April class has sold out already, but please get in touch through my website as soon as possible if you were hoping for a place, as I’m looking at possible dates for the next class and it would help me a lot to know who would like to be on the waiting list – the longer the list, the sooner I can book in another date. Looking forward to hearing from you …
