Do you want to put pen to paper? Join us for a guided writing hour with writer and editor Finn Brown.
Finn will get you started with some goal setting, a creating writing prompt and a creative writing exercise. You'll then have 25 minutes to work on your work in progress. During this time you're welcome to ask advice of Finn and your fellow writers, to share where you are getting stuck and to ask Finn your questions about writing and the publishing process.
At the end of the session you'll be encouraged to feedback to the group, share a line you're proud of, and plant a seed for your next writing session.
The session will take place online via Teams. Please note, it will not be recorded, but the exercises will be circulated if you aren't able to attend last minute.
