*********
We limit all workshops to just 6 participants.
Our trademarks are :
Interactive - a mix of mini-lectures, discussion and exercises. Join in or sit and listen. You never have to read out, unless you want to
Inspirational - suitable for beginners and for any writer who would like a creative boost
Stand-alone - try a class and, if you enjoy it, you may want to come back for more!
NB. We only teach adults
Since 2017, we have run oodles of creative writing workshops and welcomed over 200 people around my kitchen table - many of them returning for our follow-up sessions.
We will write bits and pieces along the way... but there will be
NO PRESSURE TO SHARE
unless you wish to. As our feedback below illustrates :
