Welcome to the Call of the Page website. We run international online courses, workshops and events with an emphasis on minimal words, and the Japanese forms haiku, senryu, tanka and haibun. If you're looking for a course we hope you enjoy exploring the tabs above. 

We also run creative literacy and literature projects using the power of words.

We are a provider of creative writing courses, and not in the business of currency speculation. ? HOWEVER... the pound has plunged again (early September), and this has often amounted to a 10% or more reduction in course prices if you are paying in US dollars, since the time we set them. You'll find that the exchange means you will pay less than the current dollar price guidelines on the booking pages, so it's a good value time to book where we have vacancies, or for one-to-ones. Please use an online currency conversion tool if you would like an accurate indication as you book. Thank you!
