A six-week course with bestselling author,
Annie Lyons starting on Friday 30th January 2026
11 am - 1 pm, upstairs at Nor Store, Beckenham Place Park
(no class on Friday 20th February as it's half term)
This is a friendly, relaxed course, designed to ease people into the writing process and bring them confidence as writers. Over the six weeks we cover the basics of storytelling; generating ideas, finding your writing style, editing and developing your craft so that you end up with a clear writing goal to pursue.
The course includes a mixture of 'how to' teaching from me (nothing too formal), exercises and discussions. We use a combination of individual and group exercises to get the brains buzzing and the words flowing!
Cost: £220
Please e-mail [email protected] for more information or to book.
A £40 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a place.
After twelve years working in bookselling and publishing,
Annie Lyons’ debut novel, Not Quite Perfect, became a number one bestseller. Eudora Honeysett is Quite Well, Thank You was a USA Today bestseller and her most recent book, The Air Raid Book Club has been translated into seven languages.
Testimonials from previous course participants:
‘What an excellent course! A friendly supportive atmosphere and truly encouraging for the novice writer.’ Susan Valdar
‘I came along to try and get into the swing of writing. I’ve come away with confidence, full of ideas and inspired to write my first novel.’ Alexis Bleasdale
‘Annie is knowledgeable, approachable and made each session interesting, informative and fun.’ Dani Payne
