Life Writing Workshop - the books that shaped us

Please note: This workshop will be run in the Writers Workshop in Orchard Square, Sheffield, and also online on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person.

In this session, we'll be delving into our memories of reading. Perhaps you have cosy memories of being read to as a child. You might have magical memories of your local library. Was reading aloud in school a pleasure or something you dreaded?

Using a series of prompts and exercises intended to spark your creativity, we'll share memories of learning to read, and the books that captivated us in our childhoods and throughout our lives. Bring along a book that shaped your life and share its magic.

The session will be fun, interactive, and sensitive to everyone's needs.

This workshop is a special one to celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026: National Year of Reading 2026 | National Literacy Trust

Led by writer Anne Grange of The Writers Workshop.

Please note: The Writers Workshop's location in Orchard Square has no step-free access. You can join this session online if this affects you.
