CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS

  • Two women are in a meeting room, one standing and gesturing as she speaks, the other sitting and listening. The room has large windows, potted plants, a table with papers and vases of pink flowers, and laptops and glasses on the tables.
  • Two women sitting on a wooden bench with a laptop and open books, smiling and engaging in a discussion, in a modern, cozy space with a 'PLATFORM' sign and plants behind them.
  • Logo with the letter B, a pen nib, and a pencil inside a turquoise circle.

Workshopping with Booksmiths 

Alex and Becky work with Soho House running monthly Writers’ Workshops at Brighton Beach House, and a Book Group at Electric House in Portobello.

We also hold a monthly workshopping series for our Brighton alumni with works-in-progress.

Previously, we’ve run many fun, innovative and inclusive sessions at Wiston Estate, Platf9rm and Mason & Fifth.

If you’re a venue and would like to work with us, we offer a range of packages, from a taught series on the craft of storytelling, explorative workshops, peer-review sessions and full-day retreats, to our ever popular Book Group.

We’d love to chat, so get in touch.

Our workshops are fun, productive and open to writers at the beginning of their creative journey as well as those who wish to deepen their craft, offering the tools, insights and confidence to start writing and keep going.

We are always planning new workshops in great spaces — sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date on forthcoming events.

We look forward to writing with you!
