Aigurande Non-Fiction Writing Workshops

Join us in Aigurande for friendly, practical non-fiction writing workshops designed to get you writing, experimenting and creating.

Unlike the general creative writing workshops, the Aigurande group focuses on short pieces of non-fiction built around a different theme each month. We follow the same simple workshop structure each time, helping the process become familiar and giving you plenty of time to concentrate on the most important part — the writing itself.

Each session includes a small amount of practical guidance on the craft of writing, followed by four prompts designed to help you explore the month’s theme from different angles. There’s plenty of writing time along the way, and by the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with the first draft of a complete piece.

What that piece becomes is entirely up to you. It might develop into an article, blog post, memoir piece, personal essay or simply a piece of writing created for the pleasure of telling a story that matters to you.

The Aigurande group is small, friendly and supportive. You don’t need to consider yourself an experienced writer, and there’s no ongoing commitment — every session stands alone, so simply choose the themes that appeal to you.

Please bring something to write with and whatever you prefer to write on — notebook, laptop, or tablet are all absolutely fine.
