This workshop is around phonaesthetics:
Workshop this weekend
And there's still time to book!

Join writer, Dreena Collins, this Saturday as she invites you to explore phonaesthetics as a writing tool.
Phonaesthetics is the reason certain sounds resonate in the human ear – why ‘cellar door’ famously captivated linguists, or why ‘moist’ makes people recoil. But this isn’t just fascinating trivia: understanding the sonic power of language gives writers a subtle, sophisticated tool for crafting prose that lingers.
In this workshop, you’ll dive into the research on sound and emotion, then explore how to harness phonaesthetics in your own writing. Learn to choose words that do triple duty – carrying precise meaning, avoiding cliché, and creating visceral responses through pure sound. Revel in language’s musicality while discovering practical techniques for making your sentences resonate on the page.
