My Workshops

Whether you are a published or aspiring writer, or simply enjoy writing, this workshop or ‘Writer’s Gym’ will help the writer in you emerge stronger.

Creative Writing Step II

This second level workshop is for participants with a specific idea of what they want to write, and
have at least 1000 words already written in the form of a draft, or ideas, or characters or an outline.

Write your heart out

This unusual workshop uses the written word as a tool for self-discovery. It is not
a writing-skills workshop, but one that aims to help participants explore and
express their life’s issues – their sorrows and joys, hopes and fears – through the
use of various writing formats.
