This course is great for beginners and also for writers at any level who wish to generate lots of new ideas and material. 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

Cost £125 (email kate@collage-arts.org to register and receive payment link)

We help to develop and support the writer, as much as the writing, with extra check-in sessions like our process/progress group, and our Feedback Fridays, sharing salons and reading groups. Our clubs and groups are here.
