Fun and friendly online creative writing workshops every month in 2026
These workshops are an invitation to pause and make time to play with poetry, write and connect with other writers, and nourish and expand your creative practice.
Join me on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (note the February date is the 4th Tuesday!) for an hour and a half of exploratory writing fun.
Each workshop will be themed and we’ll look at three poems on that theme by poets we love, and have a go at some our own writing in response.
These workshops aren’t sequential, so you can come to as few or as many as you like.
Each one will open with a short freewrite, followed by our first poem, a short discussion, and an associated writing exercise, our second poem, discussion, and writing exercise, and our third poem, discussion, and writing exercise.
I’ll be writing along with you and there’ll be an optional sharing circle at the end for us to read out anything we’ve written, or share any other thoughts.
You’ll finish each workshop with three drafts to take away and work on, and some fresh ideas and inspiration.
As a working class writer I know all about coming up against pay barriers so there's three tiers of admission for these workshops. If you can afford general admission please know it's greatly appreciated, but concession and donation entries are available for those who need them.
Who am I? I'm a Manchester based poet and poetry facilitator; I run the Norther Quarter's monthly poetry open mic & gallery evening: 'The Space Poetic', am a Manchester Writing School MFA student, and writer at 'Poet Notes' on Substack. During 2025 my work has been published by Ink Sweat and Tears, Ver Poets, Ghost Light Lit, and Superlative; and awarded by The Barn Owl Trust and Wirral Poetry Festival (2024).
