Weaving the Threads: Braided narrative, memoir and poetry

Description

“Weaving the threads” is a twelve-week course which gives participants the opportunity to develop a coherent body of work through a range of expressive creative writing activities. For some, this might mean developing a memoir, for others it might be a collection of poems, or an extended piece of fiction. Participants may also choose to treat the course as a series of one-off sessions.

I create a safely-held space where participants have the opportunity to write into a prompt and then share their writing with the group if they wish to. The focus is always on the content of your writing; there’s no literary critique.

The course is suitable for writers with all levels of experience.

NB There are no sessions on Tuesday 24th October.

Zoom: Min group size 4, max group size 10 £175/£140* Early bird price (Pay by July 31st) £150/£120*

*There are two concessionary rate places on each course, offered on a first come, first served basis. Please enquire.
