Writing Memoir & Fiction Workshops

We all have stories to tell. We can chat happily but when it comes to writing the stories down, where do you start? How do we know that what interests us will interest others?

This is a great series of (stand-alone) workshops with tuition from Adrienne Dines. You will come to recognise the storyteller you are and grow in confidence about your writing, whether you want to write short stories, memoir, poetry or tackle that novel!

All workshops will have a morning masterclass with examples from good writers and in the afternoon, the opportunity to try a few exercises and learn to critique your own work and others (unless you’re shy…)

At the end of the workshops, we’ll be running a short story competition. Whether yours is a work of fiction or memoir (or a bit of both!), we look forward to a good read!
