Next Writing Course dates - 23 March to 27 April 2021
The six week online creative writing course will start on Tuesday 23 March and run weekly until 27 April, 7.30-9.30pm. Usually, it would take place at the Bookseller Crow bookshop, Crystal Palace, but that's all gone out the window since lockdown #3. Now I deliver the course via video (zoom) with course material sent by email. The structure and delivery are the same, happening in real time, but we'll all just be in other rooms.
Classes are Tuesdays 7.30 pm - 9.30pm and are suitable for over 18's, beginners or writers who wish to gain confidence and find motivation to write. Designed to help you find what you are interested in writing about, on one hand it introduces the importance of craft while equally encouraging experimentation to discover your voice. Feedback and writing tips will be offered along the way and students will receive a suggested reading list along with weekly email handouts and class notes.
Places are offered on a first come, first served basis and the total cost is £149.

Participant feedback:
"I got exactly what I wanted and needed on your course! I was looking for ways to access writing that felt all locked up inside of me and I didn't want to 'learn to write like everyone else' ... thank you for an absolutely fantastic course"
"I loved the course - it knocked me off my normal pattern of thinking and got me to try new things! Also I got some really useful feedback."
