Grow your own creative writing practice

---

This course is designed to help you to dismantle blocks to creativity, whether practical or psychological, and get you writing in a way that works for you. Each week, we explore a different way into creativity through practical, playful experiments. You’ll learn how to keep feeding your imagination, how to bring new life into your writing, and how to keep your writing going.

It’s for people who’ve always wanted to write, but somehow never got round to it. It’s also for people who’ve been writing for years, but want to shake up their writing habits. A friendly, welcoming and supportive course, no matter what your writing life looks like.
