Inspire is the follow-on course for our entry-level course, Ignite. But you are very welcome if you haven’t completed Ignite!

If you’ve written a rough draft or just have a very rough idea for a story and want constructive feedback from a supportive group of writers, then Inspire is for you. Don’t worry if you only have a scrap of writing, you’re very welcome whatever stage you’re at and there is no pressure to share.

This five-week course offers weekly critique workshops as well as sessions on advanced writing techniques such as: modes of narration; pace; plotting a novel; editing; how to strengthen your regular writing practice; and how to read like a writer. The course includes a Q&A session with author and editor Heather Parry, as well as sure-fire strategies on how to maintain motivation once the course is over.

Come and hang out and learn to write more regularly with more joy in the relaxed, nourishing atmosphere WLAG is famous for.
