Writing workshops  
 
  • Would you like to write your life story or family history but don’t have the necessary writing or editing skills and/or knowledge of design and printing processes?

  • Would you like to write your life story or family history but don’t know where – or how – to start?

  • Have you started writing your life story or family history but need advice, support and encouragement to enable you to continue?

 
  • Scheduled one-day life-story writing workshops take place at prestigious venues in the Bristol/Bath area and include morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea.

  • A special workshop can be arranged for your club or corporate group anywhere in the UK or abroad.

No writing skills are required!
 

By participating in one of our writing workshops you will acquire not only all the information you need, but also guidance and encouragement to take the first step and start writing

The workshops are run by an experienced and successful professional writer and take place in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They include practical, ‘hands-on’ activities and are designed to provide you with the confidence, knowledge and practical skills you need to be able to write the story of your own life or family history.
