Megan at The Writers' Greenhouse: The Summer of Writing 2025 Workshops: Creative Writing for Adults
Five full-day creative writing workshops for adults on Saturdays in Oxford in August. These one-day writing workshops are filled with creative, practical exercises to discover new ideas and use them immediately. All the workshops are multi-level (suitable for both beginners and experienced writers) and for most workshops you can choose to create new ideas or to develop a work in progress.
The Art of Short Stories, Saturday 2 August: Explore strategies and techniques for creating powerful short stories of any genre.
Planning a Novel, Saturday 9 August: Hands-on practical strategies to manage the process of planning a novel, whether you’re starting from scratch or reworking raw draft.
Unravelling Secrets, Saturday 16 August: How to balance suspense, secrets, and clues in thrillers, mysteries, and crime fiction
Living Characters, Saturday 23 August: Create characters that come to life on the page as complete people and live on in the reader’s mind.
Non-human Characters, Saturday 30 August: Whether you write children’s books, literary fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, or poems, develop vivid non-human characters.
