Workshop – Brave Beginnings: Writing for the Genuinely Nervous, with Dave Wibberley
A welcoming, low-pressure workshop designed for those who feel intimidated by the blank page but long to write.
This session is for anyone who’s ever said “I’m not a writer,” but secretly wants to be. Using playful prompts, tactile aids, and gentle encouragement, we’ll explore how writing can be a companion rather than a challenge. The focus is on emotional safety, creative permission, and finding joy in small beginnings.
Perfect for absolute beginners or those returning to writing after a long pause.
Limited spaces so please book early to secure a place
