Pen Pushers: New Year Special for Fiction Writers

Join Lorna Partington for a fun, intensive idea-generation workshop that will give you a notepad full of intriguing characters, scenarios, settings, dialogue, or scene fragments that could feed your fiction writing throughout 2026.

In the first half, we'll race against the clock in a series of timed activities (ranging from 2 - 10 minutes) to respond to creative prompts that will push your pen to its limits!

In the second half, we'll have the opportunity to develop some of our ideas with a bit more time.

We'll finish with some sharing of our writing (optional).

This event will be repeated on Tuesday January 20th (6:30-8:30pm) if demand exceeds the Workshop capacity on January 13th. will be available from January 13th.
