The aims and objectives of my courses and workshops are:

Aims

For participants 

  • to feel safely held in a creative group with clear working guidelines

  • to feel able to experiment, take risks and engage in self-exploration through their creative writing

  • to find and/or develop their unique creative writing voice

  • to gain confidence in the form and content of their creative writing

  • to benefit creatively and personally from being part of an attentive, appreciative and supportive group

Participants have the opportunity to

  • write short pieces of creative writing in a variety of forms (story, memoir, poem, dialogue, letter, etc) from prompts such as text, picture, music, object or guided visualisation

  • share their writing with the group if they choose to, and / or reflect on their writing

  • hear their peers’ writing and reflections

  • offer personal and supportive responses to their peers’ writing
