Creative Writing Online Workshops

 

'A brilliant environment for learning and sharing’ 

​

** I don't usually lead in-person workshops but I've got one coming up at the end of May - check it out here!**

​

I have been running regular Bath and Bristol based writing workshops for many years. Since the pandemic, I mainly run workshops online. This enables participants to join from anywhere in the world, from the comfort of their own writing space. The group meets on Zoom,  on a Saturday morning.

​

For all scheduled online workshops see below. 

​

All workshops are run by me, Clare Reddaway, founder of A Word In Your Ear. I am an experienced facilitator,  award-winning short story writer and playwright. You can read more about my work here and read testimonials from my workshop participants here

​

All workshops run from 10.00-12.30 on Saturday mornings.

​

The workshops cost £12 for each session. 

 

​You are welcome to book individual workshops via Eventbrite (see links below).

If you’d like to block book the four scheduled zoom workshops from January-April for £48 you can escape the Eventbrite fee by booking direct with me. Please get in touch for bank details.

New writing workshops scheduled for Summer 2025

Zoom Workshops

17th May 2025: Vintage

We’ll be exploring photos, objects and clothing to take us back to earlier decades and release memories, emotions and story ideas from times we’ve nearly forgotten or don’t remember that we know. 

7th June 2025: Looking at Story

One of the best ways to work out how to write stories is to read them. This workshop is the latest in a regular series where we take one contemporary short story, read it closely and analyse it. We will be reading a piece of speculative fiction, and we will find inspiration by examining the techniques, the themes and the form the writer has used. Participants will then write their own work inspired by the story we have read together – the majority of the workshop time will be spent on your writing and feedback. 

​

5th July, 2025: Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

At the height of the summer we’ll be looking at seasons, at hot and cold and temperate, at ways to heat your story and to cool it down. 

​

5th April 2025: Stuck In The Middle With You

Are you writing a long piece of fiction? Your first novel? That difficult second album? Are you getting bogged down, bored and miserable? Are you…stuck?? Come along to shake up your chapters, re-evaluate what you are writing, look at your novel with fresh eyes, and come up with a plan.
(You don't have to be writing a novel to find value in this workshop! Good for anyone who wants to get out of a rut!)
