About

Through a series of guided writing exercises, discussions, and creative prompts, experiment with sensory language, description, and techniques for creating vivid settings.

Memories of real places and imagined worlds can become powerful starting points.

Work in a supportive and welcoming environment with opportunities to write individually, share ideas with the group, receive constructive feedback, and connect with fellow writers of all experience levels.

You'll leave with a collection of original writing, practical techniques for writing about place, and fresh inspiration to develop your creative practice.

This workshop is suitable for writers of all abilities, from beginners to experienced writers, and is aimed at ages 18+.
