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 La Loge Sagrolle Workshop
Character Kickstart
Got a character who feels flat, fuzzy, or hard to write? In this session, we’ll bring them to life by unpacking what they want, what drives them, what holds them back, and how they see the world. Expect fast-paced prompts, lightbulb moments, and a character who suddenly feels real.

The Gouzon Workshop
The Art of Conflict
Conflict is the beating heart of every great story, but it’s more than just arguments and explosions. In this workshop, we’ll explore what it really means when we talk about conflict in fiction, why it matters, and how to use it to keep your readers hooked from the very first page.

The Writer's Year in Review
This free reflective workshop invites you to look at your writing year as a story in itself — complete with highs, lows, and lessons. Through guided prompts, we’ll remind ourselves of all we learned this year, then explore what inspired you, what challenged you, and how to shape next year’s writing goals into a narrative that feels true to you. You’ll leave with new insight, renewed motivation, and a few sparks for future projects.
