Get to know Samira Shackle, our Long-Form Journalism Course Director

Samira Shackle is a multi-award-winning freelance journalist, author and editor. She is a regular contributor to the Guardian’s Long Read, and also writes for Guardian Saturday magazine, Al-Jazeera English, Prospect and GQ. In 2024 she was shortlisted as freelancer of the year at the Society of Editors’ awards. Samira’s first book, Karachi Vice was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week on its publication in 2021. Since its inception as a literary quarterly in 1979, Granta has been committed to championing the best in new writing. As part of our ongoing mission to support new and emerging writers, we have developed a programme of workshops with our education partners Professional Writing Academy. These courses are designed to offer writers the tools to develop their technical skills, and the ability to understand the nuances of excellent literary craftsmanship. These online, tutored courses are hosted on a fully accessible virtual platform, available anywhere in the world, offering flexible learning at a time and pace to suit individual needs. Each course draws on the archive of world-class literature published in the pages of Granta over the past forty years. Students will develop their authorial voice while honing their prose through practical assignments, one-to-one tutor feedback and peer learning with a cohort of committed students. Bursary-funded places will be available on each course for those in financial need. Course entry is by application. Course completion opens up our Alumni Space, which provides ongoing access to industry professionals, including authors, Granta editors and literary agents. https://workshops.granta.com/courses/
