Creative Writing: Ideas and Inspiration

Join us for this FREE Creative Writing course for adults aged 19+

Ideas and Inspiration

This Creative Writing course is run over five weeks and is designed for people to have a go at writing in a safe and relaxed space. Its an ideal course for people new to Creative Writing and for those who wish to return.

The emphasis is on enjoyment and on using the prompts and ideas to try different ideas around writing. Learners are encouraged to share their ideas with the group if they feel comfortable. 

Creative Writing is an excellent way to focus on yourself, meet other people and have some laughs along the way!

Whether you choose to write fiction or fact, the style in which you express yourself says so much about you.  

Writing is an excellent support for wellbeing as you can express thoughts and feelings and then choose to share with others if you feel this would be beneficial.
