WARM, SUPPPORTIVE & PRACTICAL
Our workshops in the city of Bath and online are led by our founder, Joanne Rush.
An award-winning short story writer, novelist and poet, Joanne studied and taught literature at Cambridge University, where she got her first PhD. Her second PhD is in Creative Writing, with a focus on fiction.
Joanne is passionate about helping emerging writers to find their voice.
“I loved every moment. The pace was perfect and it felt so inspiring to be surrounded by such creative people. Highly recommend.”
