Do you find that walking or travelling or spending time in nature springs words and stories into your mind? This workshop will draw on this powerful inspiration, with stimulus activities designed to stretch and surprise you into new work. It will help you to craft fiction and non-fiction, write convincing characters and evoke settings.
Programme Structure
- Participants will spend time both outside and indoors – walking, writing and talking through ideas and will include guided writing activities. We will also spend time discussing key extracts from published writing and reflecting on each other’s work, with attention on its impact for readers.
- This is an opportunity to concentrate on your own creativity for a week in a supportive environment with other people of similar interests. It will be suitable for both beginners and those already on a pathway who want to develop their writing skills further.
