A lively and supportive creative writing forum where you are invited to share, discuss and develop your work. Separate sessions - ranging from playwriting and screenwriting to songwriting and creative writing - are open to those who wish to drop in or participate on a more regular basis.

All the inspiration, support and techniques you need to weave initial ideas into fully realised stories. Dr Rachel's prose-writing sessions are suitable for anyone over the age of 18. Whether you’re working on a story, novel or non-fiction, want some creative inspiration, or whether you're intrigued by the idea of writing and want a creative outlet, this is the place to discover and develop your ideas and your voice.

Individual sessions with Dr Rachel are also available ahead of the group session – email [javascript protected email address] for more details.
