An “in person” writing workshop at The Folkestone Bookshop offered by Sarah Anthony as a part of the HG Wells Short Story Competition 2024.
Through literature, authors provide insight into these anxieties, provoke critical reflection, and offer avenues for empathy, understanding, and engagement with pressing societal issues.
This creative writing workshop will discuss a range of concerns which writers may wish to address in their writing and explore ways of embedding these in their work. Attendees will be expected to write short pieces and share them with the class for peer feedback.
Date:
Saturday 8th June 10am-12noon [at The Folkestone Bookshop, Tontine Street, Folkestone]
The workshops offer aspiring writers the opportunity to learn, write and share ideas.
The workshop is led by Sarah Anthony, an experienced literature lecturer and teacher, and one of our judges for the 2024 HG Wells Short Story Competition.
Participants will be limited to 7.
There will be a £10 FULLY REFUNDABLE booking fee for this course. Over past years many people have booked courses, and then not attended, denying others the chance to take part.
