Creative Writing Workshops

THREE WEEK WRITING COURSE - Friday 4 Sep, 18 Sep & 2 Oct

This writing workshop is open to everyone – whether you are starting out on your creative journey or a seasoned writer. 

Wimbledon BookFest – in partnership with the University of Roehampton – are delighted to be returning with our creative writing workshops this September.

These sessions will help you to take the next step in your writing journey, with your short story being published in an anthology at the end of the course. It is a great follow-on for previous participants of Wimbledon BookFest Writing Workshops, or great for beginners looking to develop their writing, build confidence and see their work in print.

Courses will take place on Fridays 4 September, 18 September and 2 October and are a block booking for three sessions at Colliers Wood Library. They will run from 10am to 12noon. £60 for three sessions with free places available to residents in the CR4, CR7, SM3 and SM4 postcodes.

The course will be led by Dr Tim Atkins, an internationally published author and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Roehampton. Tim is a hugely experienced and award-winning teacher of imaginative writing who has helped hundreds of writers unlock their storytelling potential.

“Tim was an excellent guide. His style of teaching was informative and engaging and he made the sessions fun.”
“Enjoyable, informative, motivating.”

The workshops are part of the Merton Council’s National Portfolio and is funded by Arts Council England.
