Creative Writing Workshops

As well as running writing workshops in schools, I also offer creative writing workshops for grownups! 

Here’s an example of the sort of workshop I can offer your writing group or organisation :

Building Believable Worlds

A two hour world-building workshop, looking at the important elements that go into creating believable and intriguing settings. Drawing on examples from my own children’s novels, I’ll share some of the skills and processes I employ to build my fictional worlds; I’ll also offer prompts as everyone creates their own brand new story setting. 

I can also offer workshops on character and how to sort out that all-important synopsis!

Testimonial:

“Having had the pleasure to be on a writing retreat with Justin, I can attest to how fabulous he is. Enthusiastic, funny, thoughtful. Justin ran a brilliant workshop on world-building. I came away determined to write my own fantasy novel on the lines of his amazing Haarville.” Iqbal Hussain, author of Northern Boy.
