Next week will be the last session of The Story Within, a course I’ve been teaching in-person since January, and I’ve loved every minute of it. It’s been life affirming to gather each week with such a brilliant group of humans, exchanging ideas and supporting each other on the writing journey.
Some things have really stood out for me: the group’s willingness to try new things; their bravery at sharing new work; their commitment to the course and to each other; their openness to directing their own workshop process and discovering what they need to develop their work; their skill at delivering kind and incisive feedback; their humour and humanity. It’s been moving, fun, challenging and expansive. Thank you class of January 2025!
I’m excited to now be offering the course online next term to connect with writers beyond London. Here are the details:
Dates: Wednesdays, 6-8pm

“Delves into the author’s ambitions, giving focus to motivation, confidence, and the freedom to create and develop ideas from concept to page. Ideal to fuel or even reignite the passion and habit of writing. ”
The Story Within is a six-week programme designed for writers who want:
Support and accountability
A nurturing, fun, and heart-felt creative space
To rediscover their writing confidence
To connect with a supportive writing community
Held over Zoom, the course will be limited to just 10 participants to ensure personal attention.
