I think that's a brilliant price. It's a bargain for what you are offering. I thought it was going to be much more.

There may be some of you who think it's not needed to do a whole course on haiku, after all it's only a certain format, very short, and easy to do. Far from it! ;-)
This course has been specifically designed to show you the delightful complexities and challenges of haiku writing.
It's designed to suit your own particular needs and ambitions.
You can start putting a collection together, or have poems that the best haiku magazines will accept, or just enjoy basking in an environment that is relaxing in every way whilst learning something new.

The course is designed to give benefit to both complete beginners and seasoned writers of haiku. Even a highly published friend of mine from Washington State was considering coming over for this course! (Note: this isn't my anthology boss and co-editor but another highly accomplished writer from the same state. See further below in my bio).
The food is exceptional, and ALL fabulous meals and luxurious tea/coffee/other hot drink and cake and biscuit breaks are done by the staff, we don't lift a finger! ;-)
