2. Creative Writing Workshops for Adults

Creative Writing Sessions

Creative Writing Workshops for Universities, Libraries and Group Venues 
I am an experienced lecturer.

I deliver Creative Writing presentations and workshops which are aimed to support attendees in developing their skills and confidence in order to get published.  
My work with universities and libraries has included real time development and editing of articles, short stories, and a wide range of writing which led the attendees to seeing their work published nationally as well as internationally, within a month from the sessions. 

The sessions I offer include:

Writing for magazines – step-by-step session guiding adults through crafting compelling content, mastering editing techniques and support in submitting entries to various publications, so that attendees can build an impressive writing portfolio.

Editing your Writing – A four-part workshop which guides attendees through the key editing stages. This workshop includes examples, helpful hints and proven techniques. Students work in real-time as they plan, draft, edit and re-edit as well as proofread a short story, poem, or article which they then submit for publication. helpful grids, tables and resources are supplied as well as constructive, ongoing feedback.

Writing for Children – A comprehensive, dynamic, and deeply informative session designed to help attendees find that childhood magic and craft beautifully illustrated, captivating tales that inspire young readers, explore age-appropriate themes, and master the art of vivid, imaginative writing. Perfect for aspiring children’s authors or those seeking to refine their skills, this session equips you with tools to bring enchanting stories to children.

Allergy Writing – A fully resourced and expertly designed workshop that enables attendees to write blogs, stories, articles and poems around the theme of Allergy. This session guides participants through the key elements with clarity in order to craft engaging and impactful narratives that advocate for allergy awareness.

 
One to One Writing Mentoring 
Writing can be quite a lonely pursuit at times. As a published author and university lecturer with years of writing and lecturing experience, I create personalised writing sessions for each writer, based around their specific needs. As I continue to support a student, I supply regular constructive feedback, which together with the student’s input, informs elements of the next session.
