The Writers' Gym has moved to Zoom for the duration of Covid-19 restrictions

Everyone has a story to tell. But writing honestly can be scary and it’s easy to get stuck. Most people need support to sustain writing of any length.

If you are doing life-writing, fiction or anything that needs a ‘good story’, come along to The Writers Gym. It’s a safe, collaborative environment that offers more support than a regular writers’ group. Some of the issues we deal with regularly include:

• What will people say? Dealing with blocks
• Identifying the story you want to tell
• Creating a solid story structure for a gripping read
• Sharpening characterisation, setting and emotional impact
• Using dialogue to move your plot forward
• Strategies to keep you on track to finish your draft
• Potential outlets to share your work
