Workshops are the quickest and most thorough, tried and tested way to become a better poet - no doubt. Word Space and Waterstones are collaborating on a new series of poetry writing sessions! Even more intimate and chilled than the usual open mic events, Word Space workshops are a cosy and more detailed dive into our poems. This is one for anyone who wants to improve and take their poetry and writing practice to the next step - that's right, anyone : no level of writing experience necessary. The only requirement is an interest in learning and growing as a writer... and a pen. The sessions is 50% guided, prompted writing formed from selected readings aimed at building your craft skills and 50% 'workshopping' - reading each other's poems critically, analysing and discussing technique and pushing each other creatively with suggestions, ideas and different perspectives. This is a smaller event so tickets will be limited : ) Like all Word Space events, if you want to come but can't due to your financial situation send me a message and we'll sort out a reduced ticket price - no worries. If you are in work right now and doing ok, please donate generously so cheaper tickets for those that need them can keep happening - mutural arty community > capitalism
