The goal of this workshop is to allow and encourage participants to reconnect to their own writing voice and the confidence to explore out of their own normal practice.
The sessions will allow the participant to apply different methods of expression, inspiration and execution to their written word, will not be limited to genre, medium or structure. The content used will reflect real-time references, modern day literature as well as classic, tried and tested methods of writing. Another key focus is to create, through this workshop, the confidence to participate and to present one’s work to an audience.
