SEPTEMBER 2026

This guided, online short story writing courses provide practical support to help you start writing and see your project through.

You don't have to be an experienced writer to join. You don't even need to have a pre-formed idea of what  you want to write.

All you need is a willingness to show up and see what's possible for you to create.

​​

The next evening course will start at 7.00pm BST on Tuesday 1st September 2026...

​​​

 

In just four weeks, you'll go from a blank page to a completed short story in a small, supportive group designed to help you write with confidence and create a story you can be proud of.
