Book now for Inspire, our second-level five-week creative writing course.
Inspire is the follow-on course for our entry-level course, Ignite. But you are very welcome if you haven’t completed Ignite too.
If you’ve written a rough draft or even just have an idea for a story and want constructive feedback from a supportive group of writers, then Inspire is for you.
Don’t worry if you only have a scrap of writing, you’re very welcome whatever stage you’re at and there is no pressure to share.
This five-week course offers weekly critique workshops as well as sessions on advanced writing techniques such as: modes of narration; pace; plotting a novel; editing; how to strengthen your regular writing practice; and how to read like a writer. The course includes a Q&A session with a published author as well as sure-fire strategies on how to maintain motivation once the course is over.
Come and join us and take part in the Write Like a Grrrl magic!
With Inspire, you’ll be part of a supportive, encouraging community and join hundreds of graduates who now write regularly with more confidence and enjoyment.
