Small-group writing workshops in Nottinghamshire, click for dates and bookings.
The art of the 99-word story

Do you have a story to tell but fear you lack the skill, stamina or patience to fill a page? Or are you an experienced writer so in love with language you struggle to cut your stories down to size? Come and practice the art of constructing a story in only 99 words.

Creating a fictional therapist

Have you ever wondered how realistic the therapists you encounter in fiction really are? Have you ever wanted to create one of your own but been unsure how to go about it?

Writing about mental health in fiction

How can writers capture the reality of mental disturbance without perpetuating negative stereotypes? Through discussions of texts, a quiz and time to write, this workshop assists participants to approach mental health issues with empathy and sensitivity.

Writing about diversity

Many writers want to reflect a diversity of identities and experience among our characters but fear inadvertently causing offence. This workshop provides the building blocks to write empathically about “the other” from the outside in.

Reading as a writer


Every writer is a reader first, learning our craft through doing what we enjoy. In this workshop, we'll explore some of the questions we can ask ourselves as we turn the pages in order to help us write the kind of books we ourselves would want to read.

Author talk: The dying days of the old asylums

The Victorian asylums like Mapperley and Saxondale were designed to protect vulnerable people but soon descended into the indignities of batch bathing, communal clothing and tea served with the milk and sugar already added to the pot. Nottinghamshire author Anne Goodwin, a former clinical psychologist, discusses her humorous and heart-breaking novel, Matilda Windsor Is Coming Home, in the context of asylum history and the ‘delusions’ that help us heal.

Tuesday 12th October 2 - 3.30pm at The Bookcase Presents..., 50 Main Street, Lowdham NG14 7BE - tickets from 0115 966 3219.
Full price £6/concessions £5
