January Writing Hours 2025

Imagine January...

It's a New Year but the mornings are dark, the evenings are cold and the best Christmas chocolate has been eaten. It's all feeling a bit grim.

January 2025 is going to be different...

because Kim Moore and Clare Shaw will be running an online Writing Hour every morning throughout January! From 10am-11am on Zoom, come prepared to read poems.  Come prepared to think about poems. Come prepared to write poems.

Come in your pyjamas.  Come with your breakfast. Come every day - or come when you can - and commit an hour to yourself and your writing.  

We will provide the inspiration, the poetry fuel. All you need to do is turn up.  

Our Writing Hours use simple prompts, readings and reflections to inspire and encourage you to write throughout January. In an interactive Zoom workshop, you'll work interactively with Kim Moore, Clare Shaw and writers from across the UK - and beyond! The emphasis is on generating new work, and writing in company: expect connection, creativity and motivation rather than detailed feedback or instruction.

Cost:

Cost: £70 for the whole month

or pay £25 for each week.
