Basically we're here to create a space for you to get words out. It doesn't matter where you are with your writing. Perhaps you're half way through a second novel. Perhaps you haven't written more than a shopping list in years. Wherever you're at, we'll have a session to suit you.I really want to work one-to-one rather than in a group. Can I do that?Sure. Pop us an email at hellowriteclub@gmail.com and we'll arrange a time to chat about our mentoring packages.Who leads the sessions?Workshops are mostly led by WriteClubber-in-chief, Alison Powell.
