Writing for pleasure

Led by Sarah Meyrick

Maybe you've always wanted to write and you burn to tell stories, or perhaps you're looking for a fresh challenge to unlock your creative juices and take you beyond your comfort zone. This workshop is designed to help you discover the magic in your pen through a series of practical exercises. In the sessions we will explore how to come up with ideas, create a plot, draw believable characters, write convincing dialogue and edit our own work. 

There will be good structured input and plenty of time on your own to try out the ideas in practice. Enjoy some time away in a relaxed and supportive environment to unleash your inner storyteller. No previous experience necessary.

Add an extra night or more as part of the R5
