Workshops

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced writer. Bring a pen, paper and a sense of adventure!

Anna runs creative writing workshops and creative reading workshops for groups. She also offers one-to-one poetry tuition in person and via email for individuals.
If you are a business, bookgroup, charity, writing or community group, or a set of friends who fancy trying something new – get in touch to discuss your workshop needs!


Group workshops

Sessions are friendly and informal and full of hands on exercises with lots of props and prompts to encourage writing and discussion. Workshops can be customised to a theme (ie Valentine’s Day or Travel). Ideally for 6-12 participants and about 1-2 hours in length.
