A supportive in-person creative writing group for women led by author Susmita Bhattacharya.
About this Event

Author Susmita Bhattacharya leads this supportive group for women to develop skills and confidence in Creative Writing, inspiring new writing through workshop prompts, reading choices, and life experiences.

Block booking and Single Booking options available.

Running time: 2 hours.

This is what others have said about the sessions:

• I have begun to write regularly. I have found myself becoming more observant, noting down thoughts and ideas for stories and simply enjoying the process of following my imagination.

• As the sessions are online, you can easily fit one in between other responsibilities and events. I love that it's flexible and I'm not judged for not being able to attend every month. It's also great value for money and really affordable. There aren't many writing groups locally, so it's great to have a safe space to create, share and think, with no pressure.

• I could never have believed, when I joined the group a year or so ago, that I would have the confidence to write a story and read it aloud within a group. But, to my amazement, I did both at the first session I attended and have continued to do so.

• I find the sessions inspiring. I learn about writers unknown to me, writing techniques and often create my own work in response to the homework tasks.

• Being part of the group has taught me that it’s possible to write freely, without inhibition or self-judgement, and that sharing that writing is part of what helps the group to work. I look forward to the sessions and have enjoyed each one, even when my confidence has been at a low ebb.

• I have begun, tentatively, to think of myself as writer, and to realise that the writer’s voice I had as a child, though small and fragile, is still there and is worth listening to. I feel I have gained something, too, as an editor. I have always been respectful of, and empathetic towards, writers whose work I have edited, but I think I have gained a deeper understanding of the creative processes – and anxieties – involved in writing.
