Course overview

Come write that story that you’ve been meaning to write! We get inspired into our own story by reading short extracts of published memoir and essays. The tutor teaches an element of craft each week to try out in our writing. We will have writing exercises in class which we can share to receive gentle feedback from peers and the tutor. You will leave feeling satisfied you put pen to paper. And made friends too!

Course description

We all have a story to tell but we lack time, inspiration perhaps, accountability, most definitely.

If you keep meaning to start this is the course for you!

Join this class to get back into your writing groove. You’ll feel inspired from published extracts from memoirs, spanning a range of life experiences and organised in engaging ways. You’ll learn techniques to bring your story to life. You’ll have stimulating prompts to get words flying onto the page.

You will have the opportunity to submit a piece of writing for peer feedback in class. You’ll also receive tutor written feedback. Having a deadline and constructive comments helps you keep up the momentum and boost confidence.

A structured, nurturing and inspirational writing course for you!
