Writing for Pleasure
We are pleased to announce our latest new group ‘Writing for Pleasure’ commencing in July 2026.
What is ‘Writing for Pleasure’ all about? Well, it does not matter if you are a complete beginner, have been writing for a long time, or you started and stopped and now wish to resume writing again. You might be an accomplished writer but need a refresh. ‘Writing for Pleasure’ is about enjoying yourself through writing, without getting to bogged down too much about publishing. The group is about learning from each other and feedback given in a safe environment. As convenor, I will facilitate and guide you through the creative writing process covering areas such as Fiction, Non-Fiction, Flash and Micro Fiction, Poetry, Scriptwriting and most importantly having fun in the process.
