What this is

Creative Writing Starter Workshop is a short, self-paced workshop that gets you writing and finishing a piece. It covers the one rule that matters most — finishing — plus show-don’t-tell, a simple four-part structure for a first piece, and prompts with a 500-word assignment to get you started right away.

It is a short starter workshop, not a full writing course or a route to publication. It does not promise publication, competition success or income from writing.

What you will be able to do

  • Set up a writing routine you can keep
  • Use the habit of finishing to complete drafts
  • Turn flat, told sentences into shown scenes
  • Shape a short piece with a simple four-part structure
  • Draft and revise a complete 500-word piece
