Explore Devon Landscapes Through Writing

ULA – Places and Spaces: Mapping Stories - This gentle five-week course is designed to get you thinking about places around the UK. We will be looking at various examples of writing which have used these locations and using a variety of prompts with a view to you producing your own ideas and pieces. Moving around the country from Salisbury Plain to Edinburgh and from Wales to Whitby, there are lots of possibilities waiting to be discovered.All you’ll need is yourself, a pen and some paper and a willingness to discover different ways of looking at places and spaces.

It’s a relaxed and welcoming space for all levels of writers. You’ll be invited to share your work with the group, but there’s no pressure.

Please note: we won’t be travelling to locations; all activities will be based on visual prompts, written sources, and your own imagination.
