Second Sunday Supercharged Writing Workshop at The Write Place, Frome

Welcome to a workshop of focused writing on your individual creative or academic projects using a technique known to boost productivity.
About this Event

Are you feeling in need of a dedicated writing day with other writers to spur you on?!

The Write Place in Frome, Somerset, is offering Supercharged Writing Workshops every second Sunday of the month.

The sessions will be run by Carole Enahoro, a writer of satirical novels, finalist for the Commonwealth Literary Prize, and feature writer. She has spent two decades running fiction workshops and courses.

Carole will be using the Pomodoro Technique. This involves breaking work down into manageable 25-minute bursts, separated by short breaks. Everyone shares their goals at the start and gives an update on progress at the mid-point and end of the morning session. All you need to bring with you is an idea of what you want to write on the day, your laptop, and a notebook. We will guide you through the session and explain how the Pomodoro Technique will help you to focus and write lots of lovely words.

There is coffee and biscuits to keep you going - and the café at The Black Swan Arts Centre downstairs for more substantial fare.

£10 for The Write Place members (please use promo code: TWPMember)

£15 for non-members

No previous writing experience is required, and the Pomodoro Technique works for all wordsmiths – creative or academic. You’ll be amazed at how much you achieve!

Arrive at The Write Place at 10am, on the top floor of Black Swan Arts, for a writing workshop that lasts until 3pm, with a break for lunch and a walk at 1pm. You can either bring your own lunch or order at the River House Café downstairs.

If you’d like to keep writing after lunch, we carry on Pomodoroing until wrap-up at 3pm.

Refund policy: no refunds except in the case of unexpected, emergency events or if likely to infect others with cold, flu, or virus. Please note that The Write Place is is a non-profit, volunteer-run space.

The Write Place has eight writing stations for silent work, as well as a separate reading room with refreshments. There is a car park opposite the centre by the cafe. Please enter through the cafe and take the stairs up to the top floor. Unfortunately, there is no disabled access.
