You are invited to join writer Josephine Corcoran in these enjoyable workshops.
In a supportive, friendly environment you will:

The emphasis will always be on enjoyment and no-one should feel overly challenged or under pressure. The sessions are free (funded by the Big Lottery Fund’s ReadWrite South West project).
