£13.00 GBP

Sale Sold out

Taxes included.

Finding Your Voice As A Writer takes time, confidence and kindness. In this workshop we’ll combine all three as we do different exercises to broaden our writing practice. During the session we will:

Use positive real life experiences as inspiration for writing
Craft a fictional character and write them into life
Receive positive and supportive feedback from others
Explore boundaries and how they can support our writing

Robert Holtom is an award-winning author and playwright. Their debut novel, A Queer Case, won the Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Mystery and was shortlisted for the CWA Whodunnit Dagger. Their second novel, A Morbid Passion, came out in June and continues the adventures of amateur sleuth Selby Bigge. They have over a decade's experience of running workshops in creative writing and storytelling.
