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 alumni with works-in-progress.
Booksmiths have a few free spaces for underrepresented writers at Brighton Beach House, so if you’d like to come along, get in touch.
We are always planning new workshops in great spaces — sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date on forthcoming events.
And 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 to more open workshops and our ever popular Book Group. All our sessions are fun, productive and accessible to writers at any level. We’d love to chat so get in touch.
We look forward to writing with you!
