About this event

This course of eight weekly workshops is designed to help you build momentum on a creative project, work on structure, hone your style, solve narrative problems and learn to edit your own work. It's ideal for adults who are already writing - occasionally or regularly - or want to return to writing after a break.

Sharing work can be terrifying, no matter how much you've written before, but B-Writing classes are supportive and encouraging, and we'll build in techniques to help you work round these fears. There'll also be free drop-in online writing sessions to help you keep writing between classes.


Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an experienced or confident writer to join?

No. All are welcome, no matter how much or little writing they've done. However, you'll get more out of the course if you're actively writing, whether or not you have a specific project to complete. Please get in touch if you want to know which B-Writing course is right for you.

Will I have to read out or share work?

Only if you want to. However, this course is designed to help you build the confidence to share work and you'll get the most out of it if you can work towards this.

How do I get to the Birmingham & Midland Institute?

The venue is 0.3 miles (about 6-10 minute walk depending on your walking speed!) from Birmingham Snow Hill station, 0.4 miles from Birmingham New Street station and 0.6 miles from Birmingham Moor St. It's also close to bus stops on Colmore Row.

Is there an age limit?

This course is for people over 18.

Organised by

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.
