This course is great for beginners and also for writers at any level who wish to generate lots of new ideas and material. It also works very well for people returning to writing after a break, wishing to get back into crafting words on the page.

This fun and playful course will use different creative writing exercises and prompts to get you working, in a friendly and supportive environment. We will set out from a new starting point each week, and experiment with different techniques and ways into prose writing.

Week 1) Place (mental maps and sensory detail)

Week 2) People (picture prompts and character sketches)

Week 3) Objects

Week 4) Food

Week 5) Gaps (collage and “found text”)

Week 6) Journeys

Enjoy this set of 6 workshops, one of 2 separate sets which can be taken in any order.

We would love to welcome you to our writing community where you can progress your work, share ideas with other writers, and focus on your writing away from distractions.
