I’ve done four sessions with one batch of my creative writing programme and three with another; it’s time to bring a little more excitement in – a guest session!
I spoke to author Nalini Sorensen, and we finalized things super quickly. I’m delighted to announce a one-hour writing workshop with this warm, lively, award-winning writer. While the event is free for those who have enrolled for my online programme, it’s open to non-participants too, on payment of a registration fee.
