Ignite London: Write like a Grrrl

WELCOME TO IGNITE LONDON: Whether you want to write prose, plays or poems, Ignite is for you! If you haven’t written creatively before but always wanted to, or if you haven’t written for some time and want to kick-start your practice, then this low-cost, intensive course is for you. Come, hang out and learn to write more regularly with more joy in the relaxed atmosphere WLAG is famous for.

With Ignite, you aren’t expected to write for big chunks of time or to share work. You’ll develop your skills and confidence in a small, supportive group. By joining us in person at The Create Place, you’ll learn how to push through doubt, reduce fear of the blank page, create a regular writing practice and enjoy the process of writing so much more. You’ll become skilled in characterisation, dialogue, creating dynamic settings and other essential writing techniques.
