WEEKLY ONLINE WORKSHOP

A WRITING LIFE

Start your Friday morning creatively – join us for an energising workshop filled with imaginative writing prompts and based on a new theme each week.

What to expect

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

As writers, we know that holding space for creativity in our busy lives is a gift to ourselves. We’ve learnt that coming together each week is a source of joy and inspiration.

Every Friday morning we set aside an hour to write together – drawing inspiration from art and nature, and exploring new tactics and techniques.

Dip into a session that interests you, sign up for a monthly subscription, or give someone the gift of time in which to dream, think and write. 

Pricing: £10 per session, or £35 per month for unlimited sessions.

“Brilliant. It unlocked a long held wish to write – it gave me directions and ideas, and the energy of the group was inspiring.”

Sue (February 2024)

AN HOUR TO WRITE TOGETHER

memory

This month we’re drawing for inspiration on some of the themes in Joanne Rush’s new novel, Dancing on Knives – A Bosnian ghost story about a young woman haunted by her memories of war. Memories of all kinds are our subject today – light, dark, laughter-filled, disputed…

ghosts

We know it’s Valentine’s Day. We just thought you might have had enough of hearts and roses. Join us instead to write about what haunts us, what hides around the corner, what troubles our sleep.

dancing

We end this month with a writing session about dancing. Starting with ancient myths about spirits who dance to bring in the spring, dancing has long held a fascination for painters and writers. Explore it in words with us!

sight

Throughout March, we’re going to be thinking about the senses. How do writers use their eyes? What perspectives do we use? Join us as we delve into some brilliantly visual passages from literature… and write some of our own.

taste

The taste of a cake dipped in tea is, famously, the start of a flood of memories in a novel by Marcel Proust. Some stories describe feasts so vividly they make us hungry. Join us to experiment with the wonderful roles that food and drink can play in our writing.
