Celebrating two years of London Writing Workshops
May 23rd, 2010
On Saturday 22 May, I celebrated the 2nd anniversary of London Writing Workshops with the participants of The Writers’ Workout. We shared a carrot cake (decorated with two candles) and everyone sang! They were very good about my poor camera handling skills. Victoria took this picture of me blowing out the candles. A lovely group – as always!

‘Writers’ Workout’ falls on 2nd anniversary!
April 27th, 2010
I’m offering places for The Writers Workout at a 15 % discount to celebrate the fact this workshop falls almost exactly on the two-year anniversary of the very first London Writing Workshops event (pictured left), which took place on May 24, 2008 . Since then, there have been another 12 workshops, attended by more than 100 people in total, quite a few coming back more than once..
I’ve learned an enormous amount in these two years and I’ve met some lovely people, some of whom have subsequently had short stories published, one has been longlisted for the Bridport Prize, and another has secured a literary agent. But for me this comment – from someone who came on the short story workshop last September – really sums up what it’s all about: ‘Somehow, seeing the variety and quality of what other people – and you yourself – can come up with on the spur of the moment, restores one’s faith in the human ability to be immensely creative’. Hear, Hear, to that!
