ONLINE WORKSHOPS
How to Build Character
OUR ONLINE WORKSHOPS ARE DELIVERED BY AN AWARD WINNING TUTOR TRAINED TO TEACH CREATIVE WRITING AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.
Building Character
Whether you are writing fiction, non-fiction or poetry, creating engaging characters is key for sustaining reader interest. Our writing tutor, with plenty of writing and editing credits herself, will introduce you to a range of characters and explore with you how they have been created. Workshops are online and cost £15 per delegate. If you would like a bespoke workshop involving writers you have invited yourself, costs are as little as £20 per writer.
ONE TO ONE MENTORING
Our award winning writing mentor has been trained to mentor creative writing by Cambridge University.
Aimed at beginner and intermediate writers, our coaching and mentoring programme is completely bespoke. We can look at the psychology of writing if that's what you'd like, we can explore writing theory or we can get on and work on the writing that you are working on at the moment. You can book for one session or a series of sessions-you are in control. Rest assured that our writing tutor has plenty of writing and editing credits herself ! Only £30 per session.

The generous dead, the vengeful dead, the bored dead and ... well, the dead. Gothic mansions and bullets, gangland alleyways and graveyards. Featuring 'I am Katherine Margaret Hall, Wonder Woman', shortlisted for the Word Poetry Competition 2019 and 'For All Time', shortlisted for the Felix Dennis Prize in 2016, Tales From The Ether is a wonderful array by emerging writers: gothic fiction, romance, historic, crime, twists in the tale, humour, life writing, literary and non-fiction-all within one volume. Stories set in the USA, the UK, India, Italy and Indonesia. Entertaining writers from around the world and voices from under represented groups. Stong female leads, gutsy takes on love, ambition, disappointment, disability, friendship, colourism and racism. Muslims, Catholics and those for whom religion isn't a thing. Easy to read from cover to cover, dip into, graze or study.

Thea Etnum Fiction
“If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient."
[The Guardian, 25 February 2010]”
