Facilitated by Sarah, the creative writing classes are perfect for people wanting to enhance their writing skills or simply have some fun, sculpting their ideas and getting feedback from the rest of the group. Every week Sarah will set a writing or reading task for you to explore. The classes will cover a range of genres of writing and use different materials to help fire your imagination!
From time to time, guest speakers join the group to share their writing experiences. Over the last year we have been very lucky to host the Forward Prize winning poet Liz Berry, Offa’s Press publisher Simon Fletcher, children’s performance poet Pep the Poet, the novelist Anouska Knight, screenwriter Evie Fehilly and former Staffordshire Poet Laureate Bert Flitcroft. In previous years, our guest speakers have included the former Staffordshire Poet Laureate Dawn Jutton, the travel writer Jane Wilson-Howarth, founder and editor of the Fawn Press Scarlett Ward Bennett (who is also the current Staffordshire Poet Laureate), former Staffordshire Poet Laureate Emily Rose Galvin and journalist Mary Murtagh.
Please bring some paper/notebook and pens/pencils.
