Interactive - a mixture of writing lectures, discussion and writing exercises. Join in or sit and listen. You never have to say a word, or read out, if you don't 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! Our other workshops for beginners are on plot, dialogue and setting.
