ABOUT THE 6 WEEK COURSES:

OurΒ six-session Autumn courses for adults have been announced, see below for the programme and start reserve your places now!

Our tutors are offering again poetry, life-writing/memoir, and novels, all by popular demand – but expect new angles, elements and focus in each of these rewarding courses. And why not try something new? Novelists, unlock your work through poetry. Poets, you are the original life-writers so why not try it in prose? Life-writers, I bet you have a novel in there somewhere. Shake it up and enjoy yourselves at the Writing Room!

All are welcome on this fun and liberating workshop-based course, whether you are new to writing, or wish to expand your collection of poems, or are a prose writer wanting to explore your writing capabilities. Expect to be highly productive as you learn how to find and unlock poems, let them build, grow and multiply. Exercises in class, focused on tiny details, every day experiences, or life-changing events, will enable you to encapsulate aspects of your internal and external worlds.

Whether you’re interested in writing short memoir stories or a longer book of life-writing then this class will help and guide you through your own process as well as helping you to identify key themes in your work.
