WEEKLY CLASSES

I've been running online writing classes since 2020 and students find them inspiring, supportive and productive.  Each week I start with an input session where I introduce a theme, bringing a rich array of stimuli to explore and expand the topic. These include images (paintings & photos), audio materials, objects, text extracts, articles  and film clips, all of which serve to stimulate fresh ideas, discussion and new directions for writing, both in class and during the intervening week. The input session is interspersed with  short writing exercises to develop both thematic ideas and specific writing skills. The input session is followed by a workshop, which offers the chance to share your own work and get valuable constructive feedback within a safe, supportive group atmosphere. The group is small to give everyone space to read and contribute with a maximum of 8 writers.
