Online Workshops

Creative Writing Online Workshops

 

'A brilliant environment for learning and sharing’ 

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 three scheduled zoom workshops from April-June for £36 you can escape the Eventbrite fee by booking direct with me. Please get in touch for bank details.

11th April 2026: Form 

What is the best way to tell your story? Is it a linear narrative starting when your protagonist was born and ending on their deathbed? Or could you shake it up a bit? We’ll be looking at different ways to approach your story, discussing points of view and tense as well as narrative shapes and innovative structures that could transform your work.

2nd May 2026: Flash Fiction

Flash fiction: delicious tiny explosions of energy and imagery, fizzing with ideas wrapped in a miniature bundle. In this workshop, we’ll take four pieces of flash fiction. We'll look at shape, structure, beginnings and endings, word choice and ideas. You will write your own pieces of flash as we go.

6th June 2026: Suspense

When you pick up a story or a book, what keeps you turning the pages? Why do you stay up late at night, chewing your nails, desperate to find out what happens next? In this workshop we’ll be looking at how to create suspense in your work.
