'I have found joy in writing through these workshops. The sense of creative community has encouraged and inspired me. I hate it when I have to miss sessions: they are a central part of my week!’
‘I met Anna at a memoir-writing workshop held at the Birmingham Literature Festival in October 2025. Even in this short session, I learnt so much and was able to interact with the group and share ideas about writing process and novel approaches to writing and "finding our words". I was so inspired by this experience that I signed up for writing workshops with Anna, and have gained so much from her own expertise and from that of the other participants.
I travel over 200 miles as a round trip each week to attend, and it is the best thing I've done in a long time. I strongly recommend this group to seasoned or new writers (like myself).‘
’The facilitator is excellent at fostering a sense of belonging and mattering within the group. The course design helps you to focus on developing your practice in a way that works for you. I feel I have a toolkit of resources I can access, as well as a community that I can share the experience of writing with.’
’The techniques we went through were a revelation to me.’
’Very stimulating but also safe. A great way to get going with writing.’
’I now write regularly and feel much less inhibited about it.’
‘I appreciated the way you offered us the opportunity to do things without pushing us.’
’It’s been a fantastic experience and really helped me get out of a rut.’
’Anna’s focus on wellbeing and embodiment in writing has allowed me to find a deeper level of “being” in my writing, which is having an effect on other areas of my life. I am a mental health professional and a trauma therapist. I would recommend this course to writers interested in their relationship with writing and with their wellbeing.‘
