Detailed feedback is provided by Gordon and Jocelyn along the way and, in addition, you may receive comments from the other poets following the course.

The Writers’ Block
A series of original assignments designed to help you find your unique authorial voice. You may get some surprises along the way as you write in many different forms: poetry, prose, plays, word- games and journals. One purpose is to bypass the inner critic which is often the source of ‘writer’s block.’ Once this is silenced you will find increased confidence and enjoyment in experimenting with words. We draw on art, music, and the best of contemporary writing to offer stimuli which is unusual, informative and exciting. Included in the package of 8 assignments is our thoughtful and encouraging feedback.
£120 for a year’s course of 8 modules with feedback.
£17.50 for a sample assignment tailored to your needs.
‘I was delighted with the material provided. It taught me a great deal about writing, bringing me out of my comfort zone and stretching my imagination. The feedback on my assignments was excellent. The tutors were helpful, friendly and encouraging and halfway through this course I had my first article published. I highly recommend The Writers’ Block and found it to be excellent value.’

‘Your colour-writing course was unusual and delightful with stimulating material offered in a non-threatening way. I have never attended a workshop for a group of this size in which everyone contributed in such an imaginative way.’
