Type: Library Workshops
Six weeks of 90-minute writing workshops to help you hone your craft or pick up the pen for the first time
Over the course of six weeks participants will examine different aspects of writing including character, voice, and plot. Our aim will be to develop new skills and to explore old ones, while thinking about what works for each of us as writers – and what doesn’t.
A limited number of free tickets are available to people for whom the cost is prohibitive. Please contact Margot Miltenberger [email protected]
“The classes made me realise and strengthen my passion for writing and say without fear, ‘I am a writer’.”

A note for our Start Writing alumni
We keep our Start Writing workshops small so that participants get the most out of their experience. In order to widen access to our Start Writing courses and give more people a chance to participate, we’re prioritising places for those who have not yet taken a Start Writing course. If you are a Start Writing alumni but would still like to participate, please email Margot Miltenberger to be added to the waitlist: [email protected]
