B-Writing

B-Writing runs creative writing courses and more. As writing can sometimes feel lonely, I host writing meet-ups online and in person to help you connect with other writers. (The online sessions are free to those on B-Writing courses.) I also offer mentoring and one-to-one sessions, whether you want to identify blocks to writing, build momentum or see a creative project through.
