Writing West Midlands Writing Courses

 With details of upcoming courses:

 

New Year, New Writing Courses

 

Writers,

 

Here at Writing West Midlands, we understand that at times, all a writer needs is a little push. Sometimes, that could be a New Year resolution. Other times, you might need a short course or a workshop to get the ball rolling. And sometimes, you need both!

 

Below, we have listed our newly programmed short courses and workshops including an upcoming writer training session teaching you tips and tricks to get writing and more importantly, keep writing. All of our short courses and training sessions are priced at £15 per taught hour, but as always, we do provide bursaries if needed.

 

If you'd like to set your New Year resolutions in motion and explore your writing further this year, scroll down and see what suits you from our exciting new short courses and workshops programmed for 2023.

 

We hope to see you at one of our short courses or networking events soon.

 

Get booking and get writing!
