A Place for Writers
We will offer small group face-to-face writing workshops delivered from our cosy writing room. Unleash your imagination through creative writing sessions, learn the secrets of self-publishing, explore tips and tricks for writing about your family history and master the art of clear writing. Workshops for children and young adults will also be offered. Connect with fellow writers, share experiences, and refine your craft in an inspiring community.
