📚 Library Writing Sessions: Unlock Your Inner Writer!📅

Join us for a fresh season of free, informal writing workshops at Exeter Library! These sessions welcome writers of all levels and genres, providing a nurturing space to explore new ideas, build your skills, and share your work in a supportive group. Each session brings a unique theme, encouraging you to experiment with different forms and topics. Whether you're new to writing or a seasoned wordsmith, there's something here for everyone! Led by Library staff members Nat & Chris, with occasional guest facilitators


📘 Upcoming Themes:

Kick off the new term with an introduction to the season ahead! We'll cover key techniques, do some creative warm-ups, and have a look at writing characters. Led by Chris and Nat


18 SEPT - Short Stories

With guest tutor Linda Lewis, we'll dive into the world of short stories, to examine some classics and think about crafting our own


02 OCT - Nature Writing

You’re a natural, baby. Nat leads a Nature themed workshop full of the birds, bees and trees - looking at how nature can be used to as a setting, a tone, a plot point, and a character


16 OCT - TBC

A special guest session TBC!


30 OCT - Spooky Special

How to write what scares you! We'll look at some (mostly silly) examples from the world of horror and beyond, to examine how to write work about fear. A fun Halloween themed special.

Discover the world of creative non-fiction, with a look at memoir, journalism and humorous essays
