Absolute Beginner Creative Writing Workshop

Have you always wanted to write creatively but don’t know where to start? Are you intimidated by groups of more experienced writers?

This is the workshop for you. We will do beginner-friendly writing exercises, and I will give you exercises and tips to take home to build a writing practice. There will be the opportunity to share your writing but it is not obligatory.

This will be a friendly, fun, and open space to get words on the page, build confidence in your writing, and develop your own writing practice. We will be doing different prompts from previous workshops, so if you have attended before we'll be doing new prompts and exercises.
