Creative Writing Courses & workshops

My creative writing teaching focuses on encouragement, structure, and creativity, rather than pressure or criticism.

Courses and workshops may include:

Story ideas and inspiration
Character creation and development
Plot and structure
Writing dialogue
Showing emotion through writing
Building a regular writing habit

Sessions are designed to be accessible, supportive, and suitable for adults of all abilities and experience levels.

Community-Based Teaching

I’m proud to be delivering my creative writing course at Inchgarth Community Centre, a welcoming local space that supports learning, creativity, and community connection.

Teaching in a community setting allows people to:

Learn in a relaxed, non-academic environment
Share ideas with others safely and respectfully
Build confidence without pressure
Enjoy writing as a social and creative activity

Who These Courses Are For

Creative writing sessions are suitable for:

Beginners who have never written creatively before
People who enjoy writing but lack confidence
Anyone looking for a creative outlet
Adults interested in storytelling, fiction, or personal expression

You don’t need qualifications or previous experience - just an interest in writing.

Each week in my Creative Writing course we explore the topic in depth during a full two-hour, tutor-led session. These classes include guided teaching, live examples, group discussion, and practical writing exercises designed to help you apply each concept straight away. Participants are encouraged to share their work, ask questions, and experiment with different techniques in a supportive, structured environment.

Weekly writing assignments are set and carefully critiqued, with constructive feedback focused on strengths, clarity, craft, and next-step improvements. The aim is not just to produce work, but to steadily build skill, confidence, and individual voice over time.

The videos provided here are short summary versions of each week’s material and highlight the key learning points. They are designed as refreshers and overviews rather than full replacements for the live sessions and detailed feedback process.
