Whether you want to make time to write short stories, having a burning urge to write a novel, or you want to commit to journalling more regularly - this workshop will get you on your way.
You'll spend the day at the gorgeous HOURS Space gallery in Bristol - a hidden gem with views over the city that are guaranteed to get your creative wheels turning!

- Set goals for your writing months ahead
- Discover effective strategies for sticking to them
- Figure out how to protect your writing time
- Experiment with different ways of writing
- Get started on a range of potential articles, stories, poems, journal entries and more
Alison will provide writing prompts throughout the session and give you space to write and share your words (if you want to!). She will also provide a fantastic reading list, designed to support new writers and set you up with suggestions about where to send your work.
But don’t take our word for it - here’s what some of WriteClub's previous participants have said:
