Writing Workshops

Following the success of our 2025 collaboration with Gold Dust Writer Mentoring, we are delighted to be offering a rich selection of workshops to offer participants the chance to develop their craft, no matter their level of ability or experience.

 

These 1.5 hour sessions offer the opportunity for writers to learn from renowned authors who are masters of their craft. Whether you are considering taking those tentative first steps into nurturing an idea into fruition, want to develop or move forward a project that is already in progress, then these sessions will have something to offer every writer.

 

Should you just wish to get a taste of what such sessions offer, or want to listen to the wisdom imparted by our visiting tutors, you are also very welcome to audit these sessions.
