Why us?

There are lots of free resources out there, and many, many textbooks and workbooks for the aspiring and developing writer. These can all be helpful, but sometimes you need that in-person support to start, to continue, and more importantly to finish a piece of work.

Writing can be a lonely business, so join in to get individual attention and guidance, and the support and encouragement of a small group. Each course has a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 to make sure this works well.

This is not a top-down, one-size-fits-all methodology. Rather, we’re looking to help writers find what they want to say, and hone their unique way of saying it. We want to help you acquire the writing habit, and learn by doing.

You will also be trained in best workshop practice, including how to give structured, useful feedback to each other. Seeing what works in other people’s drafts sharpens your own writing. The art of giving and receiving constructive criticism gives you a more professional approach to your writing.

At the end of your course, you’ll have a developed piece of work to be proud of, and a good idea of how to take it forward. We hope you’ll also have more confidence and belief in yourself as a writer.
