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.

Excellent structure, supportive course leader, and a great pace. I found myself seriously writing not writing seriously. It's soul deep and stretches you so you can laugh out loud. (Sara)Write Club is a brilliant idea, expertly executed by Al. The 'Work in Progress' sessions gave me the motivation I needed to plough on. Care had gone in to pair me with the right group of people to provide constructive criticism about my work. (Nick)I found WriteClub to be an exciting and engaging venture. Alison has great energy and brings a lightness to the process of writing which I appreciated. She is also very skilled in bringing people together and making them feel comfortable as a group. Most importantly, however, the intensive course got me writing and left me with an outline for a piece by the end of the four weeks. (LS)NB We will use Google Drive and Zoom for this course.
