WRITE SPACE 2026.

Service Description

Tuesday evenings 7pm - 9.30pm from January 13th at Platf9rm, Brighton led by award-winning writer, Linda Marshall Griffiths. Writing week break 3rd March. Are you writing a novel, got a TV show in your head or walking around with a story you want to tell? Or are you fascinated by the process of creative writing and want to dive in? If you are a new or experienced writer, this eight-week writing course will give you opportunity to explore in depth: text, dialogue, characterisation, genre, form, silence, narrative, structure and story. In a relaxed evening setting at Platf9rm, Tower Point, Floor Six, we will develop tools through a playful approach of writing exercises, shared work, and developing skills to create an initial idea into something much bigger. With weekly writing tasks and development of a sole writing practice begin a journey towards creating a new piece of writing in fiction or a dramatic form. Culminating with a social evening in March, giving writers an opportunity to read and share work with an invited audience, this will be an exciting and dynamic process which will kickstart a passion for writing. The writing starts here!
