Six weeks of 90-minute writing workshops to help you hone your craft or pick up the pen for the first time
Are you a writer keen to develop your novel? Or maybe you’ve never touched pen to paper before and you just want to try your hand at something creative? This six-week course delivered by internationally bestselling novelist Matt Wesolowski will help you access your creativity and get words on paper.
