Come along, explore different neighbourhoods, and develop new work inspired by place on this experiential writing course.

Taking place on the last Saturday and Sunday of the month, this course will take you to three different areas across the city (Dalston, Tooting and Warwick Avenue) where we will explore, encounter, and develop new writing prompted by the places we visit and the stories that we uncover.

We’ll reflect on the ways other writers, including Benjamin Zephaniah, Robert McFarlane, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Elena Ferrante, evoke a sense of place in their writing and how this shapes their work and .

This course will enable you to:

• develop your writing skills

• discover London neighbourhoods

• learn how to find hidden gems and stories

• produce new work that captures the spirit of place (from poetry and short stories, to life writing and speculative fiction)

• share your writing and have it workshopped by your peers

• explore different themes and ideas through a series of prompts

• be part of a a friendly and inclusive writing community

The course runs from 10:30am - 3pm.
