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]
