london writing school
London Writing School offers online writing workshops designed to offer some
inspiration, make you think about the craft of writing and carve out some time
in the day to get pen to paper.
Our paid courses allow you develop an idea at your own pace.
Who are the workshops for?
Perhaps you want to give writing a go but aren’t sure what will happen. Maybe
you used to write and want to get back to it. Or you write, but would like more
structured inspiration and a practice session. The sessions are designed so that
you can make the most of them whatever stage you're at.
What do we do?
We usually have a warm up exercise around the theme of the workshop, do a little
bit free writing, and then there’s a chance to build a more structured scene
that could go on to become a short story, or even spark an idea for a novel. If
you are full of ideas we hope to bring them into sharper focus, if you’re
feeling a bit creatively empty we aim to fill you up and get you going again.
Do we share work?
In the free sessions we don’t read out work or share it with others. Come and
experiment with no judgement.
About the teacher
I've been shortlisted for various awards and schemes including the BBC Writers’
Room, Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger, Theatre 503 seed commissions and
the Launch Pad Manuscript Competition.
I write in different forms. My work has been on stage in London, audio drama
'The Grove' has thousands of downloads and my novel 'A Company of Roses' is
available on Amazon. I have an MA in Screenwriting and a PGCE from Goldsmiths
University where my focus was on creativity.
