In-person at Central Portsmouth Library Lower Ground Floor and online.
“I edited 5000 words in a weekend.”
Welcome to our quarterly @Writing Retreat, inspired by wonderful feedback at Portsmouth Bookfest 2025. Attend one morning, or both. Make the most of your inspirations. Get words on the page.
(Zoom link sent to ticket holders.)
I’ll offer goal-setting targets, encouragement, and the camaraderie that such a solitary calling often lacks.
10 am Goal-setting
10.15 Write
12.50 pm Morning feedback

“Amazing how the writing prompts so often led into just the bit of writing I was struggling with.”
Not quite a workshop, more a way to feel part of the writing community, share writing experiences woeful and wonderful, and get words on the page.
