Kickstart your Creativity: An Introduction to Creative Writing

This day long workshop will give focus on generating new work and give an introduction to the fundamentals of creative writing.

We’ll have generative prompts, discussion, samples, exercises, and time to share.

Perfect for those dipping their toe into the world of writing, or more experienced writers who’d like a refresher course.

Designed by All Weather Words writers Alice Kinsella and Daniel Wade, the workshop will be delivered by Daniel.
