The Summer of Writing: a quick intro

About the Summer of Writing: Every summer around August, I run five one-day writing workshops to inspire and develop your writing. It's the perfect time of year for writing in parks, gardens, pub gardens, and meadows – treat yourself and make it fun.

About the workshops: These full-day writing workshops are filled with creative, practical exercises. All the workshops are multi-level (suitable for both beginners and experienced writers) and you can usually choose to create new ideas or to develop a work in progress.

How we choose the workshops: In March, add your ideas to the wish-list. I'll add any new workshops I can offer to the complete list, to create a long-list. In April, vote from the long-list for which 5 workshops run. At the end of April, I announce the 5 workshops with the most votes, and you can start booking your workshops for August.

Add to the wish-list

I'd love to know what's on your workshop wish-list. Tell me what writing workshop you're longing to go on, if only it existed, and I'll see if I can make it for you! You can also use this form just to add your details if you want updates of workshops and other courses.
