Writing From Real Life - Creative Writing Workshop

Book NowLow Availability Led by writer and editor Natalie Beech (Channel 4 Writing for Television Award, 2022, editor Flourish Magazine), this workshop explores how using your own experiences or the real experiences of others in your writing can be powerful, authentic and cathartic. No one can tell your story like you can, and some of the best stories of our time have come from a writer?s personal experience. But how do we fictionalise our own lives, make sure our stories are entertaining, whilst keeping our authenticity and voice?This workshop will explore using real-life experiences as source material and how to protect our wellbeing through self-care in the process. Open to all abilities and backgrounds.
