WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS
THE BOOKSMITHS WAY
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!
