Winter Writing Series 2025 at Platf9rm Hove
The Booksmiths Winter Writing Series 2025 at Platf9rm is quite simply for anyone currently writing (in whatever form), or who's ever dreamt about writing.
The six sessions, 18:00 for 18:15 start, finishing 20:30
1. How to spot a good idea - January 21st
2. The ‘who’ of your story - February 4th
3. Obstacle, antagonist, problem - February 18th
4. What makes a scene? - March 4th
5. Tension, jeopardy and change - March 18th
6. Ending, editing and moving forward - April 1st
Creative writing is both method and magic. Our workshops move between learning and doing, engaging the conscious and unlocking the subconscious mind. Each session uses best-in-class examples from screen and print to bring the theory to life, drive debate and ignite the creative spark. We set aside plenty of time for writing, and each session closes with a chance for writers to share work if they wish.
We look forward to writing with you!
Full course sold out, but single session tickets still available
