Led by Library staff members Nat & Chris, with occasional guest facilitators

18 SEPT - Short Stories
With guest tutor Linda Lewis, we'll dive into the world of short stories, to examine some classics and think about crafting our own

02 OCT - Nature Writing
You’re a natural, baby. Nat leads a Nature themed workshop full of the birds, bees and trees - looking at how nature can be used to as a setting, a tone, a plot point, and a character
