A Writer's Weekend 28 - 29 August 2021

This programme was originally scheduled to run 22 - 23 August 2020 but has been postponed until October 17 - 18 on account of COVID19 Alert Level 3 restrictions.

Welcome to a wonderful weekend of writing workshops. These hands-on sessions offer a range of non-fiction and fiction writing styles to choose from. Try your hand at writing for children, poetry, the stage or book reviewing. Start recording family memories or learn how to structure fiction. These workshops will be facilitated by writers who are experts in their field and you will get to meet fellow budding writers.

Bring a notepad and pen to your class. As courses are held over lunch time, we suggest you bring a sandwich or similar to eat during the lunch break. Breaks are a great time to socialise and share with other writers and tutors. Tea and coffee will be provided for breaks.

You are invited to attend our opening address at 9am on Saturday 17 October 2020. Carole Beu from the Womens Bookshop will fire up the day with an early morning talk on her raves and faves. Have a cuppa, listen to Carole and meet others.
