First Lines with The Grove

Join us at Joyce for a fun, 4-week course made for writers who are just starting out or experienced writers who are diving into a new story or novel. You’ll get creative prompts, inspiring excerpts, and—best of all—the time and support to finally get your words down on the page.

5 Jan: Exploring your unique style: What kind of story do you want to write?

12 Jan: Writing from real life: Inspired by life, written in fiction

19 Jan: Building Worlds: How to use setting to build mood & plot

26 Jan: Character First: How to write unforgettable characters

*For a slightly higher-priced ticket, I’ll provide weekly feedback on your writing. You can submit up to 1,500 words each week (for a total of 4 submissions). You'll receive personlised insights on what is working well, next steps and what needs a bit of polishing.
