Inner Voices: a four-week creative writing study
Event Details
- 17:00
- Online via Zoom
- From £120
Event Description
We all have them—that inner murmur, mutter, monologue. Sometimes it’s wise, sometimes it’s way off. Literature is full of these inner voices, from Woolf’s fluid consciousness to Shakespeare’s solitary speakers to Baldwin’s unposted letters.
In this writing series, we tune in. Each week, we’ll read a short, vivid piece—monologue, letter, poem or fragment from the likes of the authors mentioned below—and use it as a spark for our own creative writing. Expect wordplay, unexpected turns, and the occasional flash of insight.
Week 1: Voice and Echo – Fragments, contradictions, layered selves (Woolf, Beckett, Rankine)
Week 2: Letters Never Sent – Writing to the past self, the future self, the imagined other (Baldwin, Kincaid)
Week 3: Soliloquy & Confession – Talking out loud when no one’s supposed to hear (Shakespeare, Browning, Carson)
Week 4: The Inner Chorus – Giving shape to the internal tug-of-war (Didion, Vuong, Davis)
No critique, no need to share—unless you want to. Just bring a pen, a curious mind, and your self.

Menopause can feel like a storm, shifting hormones, emotional turbulence, and the fog of uncertainty. Yet within the storm, there is also space for reflection, healing, and renewal.
This 90-minute workshop on World Menopause Day invites you to explore your experience of menopause through expressive writing. Using guided prompts and gentle exercises, we will write our way through themes of chaos, healing, and quest, finding words to hold what feels difficult and to welcome what is emerging.
You don’t need any previous writing experience. Whether you are in peri-, mid-, or post-menopause, this is a safe and supportive space to pause, reflect, and discover new ease within the change.

My creative goal-setting weekend is back! The best way to get what you want is to know what you want, and why you want it, in writing as in life. Knowing exactly what you want won’t mean you definitely get it, but not knowing, or being woolly about it, means you almost definitely won’t.
So start the new year with this fun weekend of workshops designed to help you identify the right writing goals for you in 2026 and start on the path to achieving them.
