Adults Workshops

Had the most amazing 8 weeks learning from the magnificent Ed! With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry, we were taught all the basic fundamental tools and techniques in order to think, as well as construct pieces of writing as true creatives would. Would highly recommend Ed and the Creative Word Shop to anyone contemplating taking a writing course. Ticked off the bucket list, and I’ll definitely be signing up to another! Maddison Gibson

Loved our recent classes! Great discussion and thought provoking lessons. Thanks Ed!

Writing is such a solitary task, to share work with open minds at these workshops is a wonderful motivator, educator and inspiration. Without a doubt the manuscript takes a stronger shape as a result of these classes.

I just want to pass on how much I enjoyed the memoir writing class and particularly the assistance I have got from David. He has really helped me open up and recall lots about my childhood that is important but I had forgotten. I am so excited to be able to put pen to paper more confidently than ever before. I look forward to being in David’s class again soon so I can keep improving.  He has a lovely manner and gently gets to the bottom of what is important to write about.

I chose Ed’s class because I wanted the discipline of 8 weeks of writing focus and to hook up with the local writing community. I got so much more than that. Ed is a genuinely generous teacher, a little quirky and incredibly knowledgeable. I loved our discussions, the challenge of the writing exercises and the guest workshops with successful published writers. I simply can’t wait until next term. I will definitely be back!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the beginners writing course run by Ed Wright. In a supportive and relaxed atmosphere, I quickly learnt some basic building blocks of writing that years of reading about writing and personal dabbling hadn’t taught me. I am now more confident in working at my own writing.

The Advanced Novel Workshop really helped me to get valuable feedback on an early draft of my novel. I found workshopping in this environment allowed me to reflect on other participant’s input and how their suggestions may improve my work. Wendy’s practical advice was invaluable and will benefit my manuscript.
