NOVELISTS AND SCRIPTWRITERS WORKSHOP

Need to refuel your creative brain tank? For aspiring, experienced and would-be scriptwriters, novelists and playwrights, brainstorm with likeminded creatives at the Kickstart Creativity Workshop. For all your writing projects – whether it’s a novel, short story, play or screenplay.

This fun, dynamic workshop is just what the doctor ordered. Using a series of writing and creative brainstorming exercises, tutor Kathryn Burnett will have you generating new ideas for writing projects or reinvigorating existing projects - whether it’s a novel, short story, play or screenplay. She has designed the workshop for new and experienced writers alike – be warned this is not a theory based workshop – there will be brain sweat!
