Master the Craft: Writing Workshops
Join a like-minded community of individuals coming together to celebrate writing!
It doesn't matter where you are on your journey. You'll get something out of these workshops - be that the confidence to start or the motivation to continue.
It's a chance for you to step out of your comfort zone and practice all types of writing, helping you to turn on that tap of creativity.
I'll give you the tools to gain new perspectives, challenge yourself, and step out of your box.
The Novice to Novelist workshops will give you the teaching, feedback, and support you deserve, with at least three interactive writing exercises or prompts.
Write Boldly: Why You Should Join Us
Each month, we focus on a different creative writing topic in a learning environment that is collaborative, relaxed, and fun.
It includes teaching, thought-provoking prompts and exercises, and collaborative group efforts that you can use as practice or take with you and expand into something more. You'll even get a chance to ask for advice if you're stuck on your own larger projects.
I run several workshops each month, both face-to-face and online. See below for details and topics.
Reservation isn't required, but it is recommended. Places are limited!
Each month is a new month. The workshops don't follow on from each other, so you can drop in and out at will - but the more you attend, the more you'll get out of them.

The Aigurande Workshop
Writing Short Non-Fiction: Finding Stories in Everyday Life
Everyone has stories worth telling. In this practical workshop, we'll explore how to find ideas for short non-fiction, what turns individual pieces into a compelling collection, and how to bring your own voice and personality onto the page. Through discussion, examples, and guided writing exercises, you'll leave with the beginnings of a short non-fiction piece and the tools to continue building a collection of your own.
