One-hour Creative Writing Workshop : Use of Silence, Omissions and Gaps
Event Information
About this Event
Creative Writing Workshops London (CWWL) was established in 2017 by prize-winning novelist, Diane Chandler, and Stephanie Zia, novelist and publisher at Blackbird Books. Together we have hosted oodles of half-day kitchen-table workshops in West London and since lockdown we have gone online with our new, fun, one-hour Zoom workshops.
We are hitting the ground running in 2021 with a whole host of newly-devised creative writing workshops for small groups (maximum six). Our workshop trademarks are:
Interactive - a mixture of lectures, discussion and writing exercises. Join in or sit and listen. You never have to speak, 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 next workshop (open to all) will be:
